2 Refurbished Razors
I purchased 2 razors out on the bay with the idea of getting them refurbished, and I got exactly what I wanted I want to thank Glen (gssixgun) for the beautiful work he did. My only real requirement was that the integrity of the blades be retained. I didn't want them to be turned into something they weren't.
The first is a Wade and Butcher 7/8 barbers notch. It was in pretty good shape, but I was looking for more. He did not disappoint.
The next is a Wostenholm&Son 13/16 barbers notch. You can see from the first picture he had his work cut out for him. He did good!

Now are you going to just coddle them and snap pics or will you let us know how they shave?
Nice work Glen!I shave because I want to, not because I have to!

You have a good looking pair of straights there. Glen's work is always superb. I hope you enjoy many great shaves with your new again razors.

Wowl,...nice blades.
But I've gotta note the photography on this forum is remarkable.
It's amazing to me that all the photos appear to have been taken in studio by professionals.
Nicely done!S.L.A.M.,.......SHAVE LIKE A MAN!!!
