Well gents, just like the title says, here is my first restore.
It's an Erskine K-200 that was picked up at a yard sale some years back by my mother. Taking note of my hobby, she handed it over to me around the holidays last year along with about 10 other vintage handles. This is the only one that really tickled my fancy, so I figured I'd try and give it another shot at life.
The end product is the Erskine handle drilled out to accept a TGN Finest 2-band 26mm XH knot set at a cool 47mm of loft. I face lather and use soaps and croaps exclusively.
The knot is essentially a replica of my Simpson Duke 3 in Best.
Anyways, I hope you guys like it!
