W&B “Commerce Strength & Unity”
Hot of the workbench is this Wade & Butcher “Commerce Strength & Unity” etched razor
The details:
Blade: A very big thanks to Tom for this beautiful blade,
it’s a W&B 13/16” Scalloped spined, Barbers notched with a “Commerce Strength & Unity” etching
Scales: the blade was received naked, so after a bit of deliberation I decided to try my hand with some bone blanks I have had for a while,
the blanks were 1” x 5/32” x 8” (from Robsbits of the bay)
the shape is freehand which I roughed out then ground to the final shape on my bench grinder.
Note: copped a bit of flack off SWMBO about the stink from doing that so not allowed to do that again I the garage, the dogs were loving it but LOL
I then proceeded to thin them down by sanding them from 180 grit to 2000 on my glass plate I use for lapping my hones until i liked the thickness, they came out at about 2.1mm (about 1/12”)
Wedge: the wedge is black Buffalo horn with Brass 10 thou” shim liners
Fixings: Brass pins & #0 wide washers stacked with Stainless #0 narrow washers
thrust washers are from brass 10 thou” shim also
It is now on the honing list with a Genco, to see if I can do it some more justice then I can compare it to my W&B scalloped “American Razor” 6/8” square point
hope you enjoy it as I sure do
again a really big thanks to Tom for the blade it is greatly appreciatedSaved,
to shave another day.
