This razor came from the step by step restore thread here

http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16304

A fully restored Custom scaled in Macassar Ebony Tuckmar 5/8 Hollow grind roundpoint razor...

When we started this JoAnna and I had come up with this as an idea for the up coming December Giveaway...
We figured it would be fun to do the step by step thread in the restoration section then finally put the razor up for one of the prizes for the giveaway

Fun Huh????

So here is one of the prizes for the upcoming "12 Days of Good Cheer" Contest (Details of the rules in the link) ​

Donated to TSD from my website www.gemstarcustoms.com​

Glenn - wow.

This is really cool. It was a rare joy to watch this razor being restored. What an awesome way to complete that process.

 

sir you have a great talent,this razor look,s out of this world fantastic workmanship i enjoyed the thread and watching you,r talent at work really FAB,would love a one off razor one day,this was first class.

 

I wouldn't enter the contest for this razor because I'm nowhere near using something like that and couldn't appreciate it as fully as someone who does; but I gotta tell you that is a beautiful razor. I admire it even more having seen the work that went into it on the other thread.

 

Good show, Glen!
