Thread: A Unique Vintage setup Razor and Brush @ Gemstar Customs

So I bought this set on a whim and finally got around to fixing them both up

The Razor:
A Celluloid Tortoise Shapleigh Hardware Co. No. S5 razor that has been completely restored, there is no visible hone wear, nor was there before I shined her back up, the razor was completely torn down, cleaned, polished, and even the gold in the name was replaced... Honed to shaving perfection on my Nakayama Midori stone... These are probably the best known name of the "Hardware Brands" of razors

The Brush:
I don't know I refinished the wood (Walnut I think) cleaned the White turned part, ripped out the old knot then re-drilled it and fit a 22mm Super Silver tip overstuffed knot in.... I set the loft at 52mm so it should have plenty of backbone too, overall, length is 132mm (5 and 3/8 in)

Here are the pics,,, it is on the "For Sale" page on my website

I have a razor exacly like that. Shaves wonderfully. That brush on the other hand is amazingly unique! I'd love to have that in my arsenal!

Glen,
I sent you a message via your website about this set.
Thanks,
Bill

Both are beautiful Glen. I wish I had some extra pocket change right now!

Damn Glen, do you ever stop. Just a wonderful set.

Bought this set on Sunday, received it today. Haven't had a chance to shave with it yet, but it is gorgeous. Thanks Glen!
