Wade & Butcher "Nothing Better".
Hi.
Unfortunately blade was cracked and i had to remove some of that good, old steel.The blade now measures slightly over 9/16 (15 mm).For a first time i’ve tried to make satin finish on the blade and i think it turned out quite well, it’s something between satin and mirror polish.The scales are made out of spalted beech lined with aluminium sheet and finished with CA. Nickel silver pins and stainless washers.

Very nice job! I like the wedge of the same wood as well! Great fit and finish.

How did you get the satin finish on the blade?

I like the way the wedge matches the scales, All in all, the result is a mighty fine razor.

Yep, they are. Funny thing but i used epoxy first but the scales bend a little, epoxy was too stiff. Second try, i used glue for elastic connections and it was right choice
