That turned out just dandy, Mike! The razors, box, matching brush. I also like the info on the restoration marked inside the box.
Full Monty, first class, top shelf! Thanks for sharing!

That is a wonderful set . . . just gorgeous workmanship. The box really completes the entire package.
The problem now becomes . . . what do you do with all your other razors?Last edited by Orville; 06-30-2015 at 04:31 PM.

Thanks gents. Couple of them have some pits still I opted to leave for the sake of I was afraid to ruin the blade if I went as deep as I needed.
The idea to add the dates inside was a nod to the mfgr's and as phrank said, imagining 1-200 years or so ahead some great great grand child o mine may pick up the old ways and put down his 12 bladed laser razor or whatever they will be selling then.
Orv, you are right, I am now awash in surplus razors,, lol. What's a gent to do???
Have a few old blades in a box begging for some attention as well so on to the next. Once these are honed up they will be SOTD posts..
Tuesday in particular honed up very nice, and was the one I added a notch to for the first time. Lots of firsts on this project for me. Doubt I will have another 7 of a kind any time soon but you never know.
Thanks again gentlemen. Appreciate all the feedback."Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."

AWESOME job, Mike!
Hard work and outstanding craftsmanship too!
You got yourself a great heirloom to pass down to the next generation of straight razor shavers in your family.
