    Default Great Grandfather's Razor Restoration

    Well here it is. This is a Wade & Butcher that belonged to
    my great grandfather. Inlaid custom scales were
    purchased from Jim (Kyle76). FJG is the initials of my great
    grandfather Frederick Joseph Grogan and 1875-1967 are
    the years of his birth and death. I pinned them as soon as
    I got them and just finished honing. I'll be shaving with
    it in a couple of days.

    John

    Very Nice. I'm getting business from folks who want a grand fathers or great grandfathers blades restored. If they don't intend to shave with them, I will mount them in a shadow box so they can display them instead of hiding it in a drawer.
