WB Full Restore

[PDobson]

I finished up the Wade and Butcher that I first mentioned in this thread. http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...re-advice.html

It was a very interesting project and I learned a lot: razor regrinding, working with buffalo horn, pinning, and the nuances of old English script.

I wanted this restore to be as close to the original as possible in looks, material, and construction. I pretty much ended up taking Gerrrit's advice to go all out. I had to regrind the blade, make new scales, replace the blade etching, pin everything together, and make everything nice and shiny again. I would like to thank Brian and Glen for their invaluable help. This project would not have turned out nearly this well without their assistance.

Here's what the razor looked like before:
