    Cool All the Curves All in Horn !!!!

    Wade & Butcher "For Barber's Use" 8/8+

    The Translucent Buffalo Horn is a thin .110" and the Faux Ivory wedge is .052" at the show end..

    I got a PM the other day asking why I never post both the wedge sizes so they could tell how "Wedgy" it is ??? Basically that dimension is useless on any razor and scale build other than this one. I try and settle the razor into the scales a certain way, so that dimension would change with each razor and build... Just for an idea of what this one is, see the way the razor sits closed right at the notch??? to do that the wedge is the .052" at the outside end and the inside was .075.. So the wedge tapers down approximately .020 inches from front to back but again it really doesn't tell you much but there I posted it so I hope it helps...

    The steel was polished out to a SS Satin finish, and honed on the Chosera 1-5-10, with a Select Coticule finish...

    That is an absolute beauty! The scales and blade match up very nicely. Well done, Glen!

    A magnificent blade and a beautiful build and restore Glen, If this ones waiting for someone, then all I got to say he's going to have a big smile on his face looking at this.

    That's a beauty, Glen! I really like the satin finish.

    As a newbie restorer, I find your wedge dimensions helpful, thank you.

    You sure dressed her up sexy! Too bad I'm more into blonde horn than brunette Still, I wouldn't mind her stroking my cheeks.

    I've always wondered: in your videos that I watched, you strop on crox and cerium (or cesium?) oxide. Do you also do so after the finishing hones you use after the Chosera honing?

    How to answer that ????

    You have to understand that those Vids are done step by step to let people have a clear concise path to the easiest way to get their razor to shave ready, they are only a teaching tool... After a few times through each person should develop their own touches to fit their style...

    Basically what I do in those vids is not quite the same as what I do when honing everyday, so to answer your question, "It depends on the razor"
