    Default G. Wostenholm & Son's Celebrated IXL with original abalone/brass inlay

    I recived this one few days ago - history piece of art.
    One Abalone piece was missing so I decide to make new one and to do full restoration and keeping all original same time. Now I am in the middle of restoration so more photos will come after all is finished.
    Btw. the same razor is in the "STANDARD GUIDE TO RAZORS - IDENTIFICATION I VALUE 3rd Edition" book under Abalone chapter.

    Man, that is gorgeous. I love old Sheffield razors, and that is a fine example. Great find, good luck with the restoration.

    Apsolutely on your side...more than piece of art, honestly and especially if we take in consideration that all inlay is hand worked

    Only bad thing is that she will not stay long with me because I have to offer her for sale in next day or two when I finish all...
