Here are a couple restorations I did recently, one I did I tried to keep everything original and it came out great. The makers mark was very faded in the first place which is a shame but I still think it came out great!

the other is a Sheffield brand razor that was a friend of mines, it was his grandfathers and he dropped the razor and the scales cracked... He said he felt sick to his stomach when the scales were damaged... I hated that it was something so valuable and it was in the condition it was, but it also was a lot of pressure know how much it meant to him. I have never restored a razor that had so much sentimental value so it was very stressful to say the least. But I gave her some new shoes, she's sitting in some streaked horn with a camel bone wedge. The razor wasn't sitting center and it actually took a lot of work and some play with the wedge to make it center. All in all fun experience and I'm glad to have had it!

actually I have a question about the wedge, making it have more of the taper on one side so the blade sits even, is there any down side to doing that? In this particular situation I only made the taper on one side while the other side was flat... It actually took making 3 wedges before I finally just only tapered one side Hahaha...

thanks guys!
