Almost there, some final touch ups will be needed. Sorry the bambo cracked, did you coat it inside and out? Without a 100% seal, wood will soak up moisture over time and expand.

Two real beauties!

After a final polish they are done. Same length as the original, but somewhat lighter weighting 21/22 g.

WOW! Now that is a truly classic look. With a matching brush and bowl or soap locker you would have a fantastic Best Man/Groomsman gift set. The vintage Gillette parts give it that extra touch of class.

Well done!

This had a full length split, replaced it with bakelite. An early New miUSA New but with the British patent on the handle (matching).
