    Thanks Tom. I have the liners both ready and the leather on the bottom of one box and just starting the lid.

    After seeing that these rolls came with an outer travel case I kept an eye peeled on eBay and got one for cheap.
    Got mine All cleaned up and re-honed. Will try it out tomorrow night I think.

    A smaller travel option for checked luggage now I think..
    And got the Wosti FBU cleaned up well enough to go into rotation finally
    Wanted so much to keep the etch intact I left many of the battle scars.
    Used bluing on both sides, then removed it again with Mylar backed 1000 grit and wd40. Did a good job to highlight the marks again, and knocked down the overly polished look after initial restoration.
    Thanks for that tip years back Richard..

    Was a challenge, as I really wanted to keep the original hardware intact on this one.
    Bit of neetsfoot oil on the scales and calling it done.

    P.s. Nice looking cases you are making Shaun. And nice job on those scales Tom's mellowing out. Going to be a spiffy razor Thomas.

    Mike, I have a 1" Wosty around here somewhere & I was trying to find it the other day but couldn't find it. I need to look in my W&B box, it might be in there. I have an FBU Wosty also but it was rough looking yet still cool.

    Shaun, the Paisley is cool looking in that box. I like that!!!

    Here's some more Ivory porn.

    I have to say you are not the only one that uses Richards tricks. Those are looking mighty fine. I guess there was a day when you could travel with all kinds of things on planes, just not any more. Checked luggage it is.

    Yep, I must say, when Tom is done with that one, it should be a real eye popper!
