Thanked: 68Looking great. You turn out some spectaular razors, maybe one day I'll have some more money to play with.
I hope that bottom pin is just while you're finding the right wood screw to finish it offDon't do anything you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics!

Thanked: 13246"The Wilton"
OK all done on this one...
For those that haven't figured it out yet I am giving this one away at the Spokane Meet on the 26th of Sept.

No strings attached just show up at the Meet and you have a chance at it...
Now back to the razor
Basically finished it out as expected, the finish on the Leopardwood is CA... I ended up using all Brass hardware even the spacer for the third pin...
The razor itself I took to a mirror finish...
Now for the rest of the story you didn't know, see this one came to me from LZ6, one of our senior members, his words "Figure out something special to do with it Glen" So I hope you like it

When I first held that razor in my hands my mind went back in time to some desperate soul who did what he could to keep his razor in working condition despite whatever may have been going on in his life. I cannot even fathom shaving with that razor and whatever you may have had to accompany that shave....soap?...strop?...cold, cold water?....outside?.....candlelight?.....
Now, thanks to Glen and his love of this craft this crusty old razor has come back home to serve again. Thanks Glen, I had no clue what you might do with her but am delighted to see the outcome. You are a world class craftsman and gentleman.
