Sticky mod

[romsitsa]

Hello,

had a cracked handle and other problems, so passed on it a year ago, but found it again and being dirt cheap, bought it for spares. Then though why not, and replaced the “sticky” part with mahogany. It’s not perfect, but works and looks good enough.

Nice looking, Adam.

Beautiful!

It's very nice, but what are we looking at, exactly?
Was this a razor that originally had wood on the handle, and you replaced it with mahogany?
Is the wood and part of the head all one piece, with a metal base plate glued to it?

Looks great. Love the colour of the Mahogany.

Is it a Wilkenson Sticky? Great work replacing the "sticky" portion of the handle with mahogany!

The elusive Wilkinson Sticky razor!

Thank you all. John, it started life as a plastic handle Wilkinson Sticky, I replaced the plastic with a block of mahogany. The base plate is glued into it, the rest of the mechanism was left untouched.

Great work!

That is super cool. Did you cnc the part or do it by hand?

That handle looks great. Is the wood sealed with oil?

 

[romsitsa]

Thank you. It's sealed with a couple of coats of CA (superglue). Although mahogany is very resistant to water, some parts are thin and could crack.
