    Default What do you guys think of my first 9/8 restoration?

    I posted a thread a couple of months back about a George Wostenholm razor that I was going to restore, well today is the day I finished. It took me a while to get a hold of a brass blank to recreate the balance that a lead wedge use to create.

    That's a beaut! Nicely done.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    Nice work, it looks great. You using it yet ? I bet it's like learning all over again.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Looks like a double bevel on the smile or is it the picture?

    I am not using it yet, but I plan to shave the mustache with it just to give it a tough challenge.

    It is a double bevel and it is on purpose.
