    Default Bowdin's Wedge

    I just received and restored this razor - love translucent green. Polished, new wedge, re-pinned and honed. It took a great edge with no special honing gymnastics. I look forward to my first shave with a wedge.

    Nicely done! and a good to great shaver!
    Bowdin and Krank were the small makers of the Twin Cities. There are threads about both of them. I believe Randydancer has a lot of information on them.
    Merry Christmas!

    Very nice.
    I like what you did with the pins at the wedge end of 5he scales.
