My first razor restoration!

**Davide** · 01-24-2009, 10:44 AM

This is the first razor I have restored! It took a lot more time than anticipated, but I am happy with the end result.

Blade: George Wostenhom & Sons
Scales: Zebrawood (20 coats of CA)
Wedge: Ambonia burl
Pins & Washers: Argentium sterling silver

My photo is not up to par with some of the amazing "glamour shots" that are common on B&B...

This is some beautiful work, Davide! I'd be glad if I only had half of your knowledge in making scales (because I've got a piece of teak lying around

)

Well done!

Very nice, love the lines.

Very, very nice

That is a beautiful razor. The sweeping lines of the blade are perfectly balanced by the design of the scales. It was worth the effort you put into it. Excellent work.

That's a nice one.

How did the blade look before you started?

Thanks for all the compliments!

Here is a pic of the razor before I molested it.

Nice Work!

If I tried to restore something like that it would end up looking like a fifth grade construction project.

I'm in awe of those who can pull it off...it looks great!

Well done sir....Bravo!!!

Now, you know you want to "donate" it to me. Come on...I'll be your best friend AND invite you to my birthday party!
