Wade & Butcher Special 6/8

[avecenna]

This is another piece from my collection, a W&B Special, 6/8, full hollow. Estimated manufacture date: 1890-1910

Here it how the blade looked at the beginning of the process:






Now, it had some pitting on it if you see, and usually you wouldn't want pitting in your W&B... simply because the steel is a very hard steel, and well... Sandpaper doesn't really touch it. At least not without enormous patience...

Here it how it looks now.

Scales were not changed (by me) but I am pretty sure these are not the original scales.























Feels very different from other razors on the face. I couldn't exactly explain how..
