    Default Wester Bros Yankee Shaver: Honed and Rescaled by Ken

    Just got this one back from Ken/RupRazor. I asked if he could replace the original scales with some plain black ones and hone it up. (The pinning on the original scales was extremely loose, and they really reeked of impending cell rot.)

    I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out. I also liked that he was able to dig up some vintage scales that match it well.

    Just have to follow up. I used it today with my default testing gear: Omega boar, Proraso cream and AV. Ridiculously awesome shave. This one is definitely going head-to-head with my rebranded Dubl Duck (which was also restored by Ken.)
