Thread: The Making of a MINTY W&B Meatchopper.

Vlad,

Outstanding..... need I say more?


Terry

Unbelievable!
I am astounded at your skill !

Man, I am speechless That is a real work of art. A true classic. This and Bill's should have been sold as a pair - Classic and Modern. Both of you guys are true artists.

Beautiful work, Vlad! I know full well how much time and patience and attention to detail that takes. Kudos!

For a little more inspiration to get your own razors cleaned up, I found a picture of how this razor looked when I got it. I thought I did not take any pictures but stumbled on it while looking for something else.



BTW, all the positive sentiment is great but I am feeling nervous. I don't want you to be dissapointed if I won't be able to top this result.

So I would urge you not to expect better stuff from me, just more stuff.

You don't have to do better. You don't even have to do this good all the time,
but the fact that you can and that you did makes us look forward to what comes next.
I mean just look at that thing. Tell me you're not proud of the accomplishment.
To quote a wise Canadian, "We're not worthy".

X, I am very proud of the accomplishment. I am glad I managed to do it. It is very satisfying, BUT

When I was working on this razor I just wanted to get as good a result as I could. Now, I can see that there is a down side. I raised the expectations of what I have to live up to on future projects.

I guess if I can't duplicate the result, I can always look at this as my 15 minutes of fame .

Vlad,

That etching on the blade really makes that razor. Well done. I'm got it in my eBay watch list but I suspect it'll go for well over what my budget is. Someday though.....

Ed

Ed, I can sympathize about the budget.

I tell you that I worked the phone like a madman trying to get a positive response to the contract position on Thursday. That way I could keep this razor for myself.

I am glad to see that it is doing well on e-bay, but man it would have been so welcome in my shaving rotation.

Vlad,

I'm sure there will be other razors that come along that you restore that you'll like just as much. The quality of your work makes that easy for me to say.
