Wade & Butcher The Celebrated medium sized hollow ground razor
Ive had this one for quite a while now but have finally managed to finish it. This is my second restoration attempt.
I had some issues with this one but managed to get through it all. I had to sleeve the over-sized pivot and adjust the scales to suit the old uneven tang so she centers...well close enough lol
I used some streaked horn that I actually got from one of the G. B. Buckingham razors that was my very first razor.....(I know I'm not alone so that lessens the pain). The originals were just too far gone from being bug eaten.
I Thinned them down and made some creative cutting and shaping to make them fit this blade. Was my first go with horn as well and I'm quite pleased with it :)
The pinning at the heel is a bit off as I drilled the holes wrong but I think I made it work.
I also lost a fair bit of the etching on this one as it was pretty thin to begin with. I tried to re-etch it in some hot vinegar just on the etching areas but it didn't come back out much :shrug:
All in all I'm pretty happy with it for my second attempt. I hope you enjoy my terrible pictures haha
These are before honing, I did make sure to set one before I started though to make sure it would take.
