Thread: What are you working on?

One more for the Wester Bros. collection. This Yankee Shaver No. 1 should clean up well.

Nice one, BeJay

Good lookin' Wester Bros. That'll be a fine shaver no doubt about it

'Atta Boy' , BJ !!

Not razor related. But, this is what I've been working on....still. Hopefully this thing won't be the death of me!

So just a little bit of shop envy. It is going to beat the hell out of the hoarders corner.
BJ how many Wester Bros in the collection. I have had a couple and they are nicely made.
As for me, it has been more of the same and nothing exciting to ad. Perhaps a little shop cleaning tonight.

You are rockin' it! Most jealous, My Man!
Do us proud!

I think I'm at around ten or so and a pair of nail clippers. Probably had another six or seven that I've bought and sold over time. I've got two less common ones coming in the mail right now. A "Yankee Wedge" and one with a MOP covered tang.

As some of you may knowmy wife and I recently had a son. I always said if ever I have a boy I will make him his first SR shaving set.

And so the journey begins....



I have had this W&B in my todo box for an age and recently got my old man to shape me off some zebrano scales based off of some old wood ones that were on it.

The plan is to scale this in zebrano, then turn a brush and bowl and finally a box in zebrano. The turning will be under the eye of my old man who is gonna show me how.

This is a big project for me. I have done the odd restore for my own use. But this one is a wee bit special.

I do have a query though...

How well would the below engraving stand up to sanding and polishing? I would like to leave it intact so this decides on mirror or leaving it looking its age.

From what I can see that blade looks just right!

With that said, I'm no fan of near mirror finishes on the old razors!
