This is a vintage and rather unusual Taylors Witness 3000 razor I just finished restoring, I kept everything original including the scales with bone spacers and three pin set up, She's a French point 13/16. And She's due for her first shave tomorrow.

Jamie.

Now that it's back in the scales you can see what an elegant design it is with the elongated spine. You've done really well with the original box as well. Great job as usual, Jamie - or as our US friends would say - Good Work.

Beautiful. One day I'll manage a successful shave with a straight.

Looks great look at the size of that tang! Just need my wound on my face to heal and I can get back on the bandwagon again.

Now I can really see how much this razor was meant for men such as me! No - for me.

Beautiful work as always, Jamie. She looks well proportioned and elegantly decked.

Hi Jamie - how about posting a photo showing this alonside anoter Taylor (or similar) to show just what the differences are now it's back in scales.

Good idea Rob I will post a few more of a previous restore of a Taylors Witness 1000 I restored quite some time back, a 5/8 round point.

The proportions of the new one remind me of nothing so much as an Feather!

you are pretty close there Rick there is definitely a fair similarity between the dimensions of a Feather and that razor, interesting how you saw that.

Jamie.
