Nice work gentlemen.
It was a day of shed cleaning and organizing for me.
Very very nice @outback
Happy new year to all!
Amazing save on those scales Mike. And the razor came out great. My hats off to you my friend!
Bravo, Mike! The scales are an incredible save, and they look perfect back together with that sweet blade. Hone on...
Great work in here guys :tu
Mike, man you always amaze me with your saves of the old classics!
Looking forward to seeing it in the SOTD
Its been a real hoot, restoring this one. I was really surprised at how well the scales came back, wasn't expecting a set of 200+ yr. old horn scales to come out looking that good. I had a hard time refraining myself from sanding on the blade. Had to keep reminding myself on how old this was, and how most blades this old would look no where as good as this one. To sand it, would be to destroy all its character and charm.
I still laugh, when I think back on finding it in the wilds for $19, and that I'm soon to embark on a shave, that was enjoyed by those earlier settlers of America, or maybe George Washington, himself. Oh, the stories this blade could tell.!!
I agree with all the guys posting above! I wish we had a "LOVE" button. WOW!

That's the kind of workmanship Mike put in my Diller. The Diller will give me my last shave of the year today and will also give me the first shave of the year tomorrow.:D
Top-notch and correct Mike! Hat's off to you! :chapeau
