Thread: Step by step restore of a Wostenholm for a member

Shave report in 30 minutes.

Smokin!!

Love the color of the horn. That might be my favorite material for scales.

This honing came out very well. Two passes, wtg,xtg, and no irritation.
The edge feels very light, delicate. I am very happy with it.

Disinfected in barbacide, Stropped 100 on leather, 100 on linen. Wiped with mineral oil, packaged and shipped with an old matching razor box, plus some pins and washers to get the kid started on his way on his own restorations.

Where are you located? I wont adopt you, but mentoring perhaps.

In the interest of full disclosure:
I noticed after a few hours post-shave, and unfortunately post -post office visit, some irritation. I have notified the owner and offered to remedy the hone job.
I feel bad that I let him down.

Mentors are always awesome. I'm in Southern CA -Laguna Hills specifically. Half way between Los Angeles and San Diego. I'm interested in restoration and honing but figure I should stay with SR shaving and stropping for now. So far so good. Lynn did my first razor and its awesome. Just trying to maintain that edge.

I do love it. Easy to shape and shine. Goes well with old blades. Also like poly pearl and wood too though.

Thanks again so much man. Came out beautiful, and he included extras to help me out! Stand up guy right here thanks bud.-john
