Thread: 3 W&Bs

I mentioned on another thread I was working on larger (7/8) W&Bs. Two wedges and a near wedge. I was asked to post them so here they are.
I foolishly jumped right in and only have the spine shots, but the blades were for lack of a better word, rough.

I found the one interesting where the stamp reads P.R Smith under the Wade and Butcher script.
First up I did this wedge in the typical fashion. Cleaned up the blade ( no, none of these were reground) and concentrated more on the scales , which is true of all three.
I book matched the scales as best I could sacrificing two slabs of horn. Should have made 4 scales, but alas, I got two. But nice scales.

I also didn't use a wedge on this razor. Instead I cut the insides of the scales to relive the area for the blade and the wedge is actually part of each scale. When fitted together it appears ( with the bookmatching) to be a single piece set of scales.
Double stack /single washer in brass put it together again.
