Old Stubtail Regrind & Rescale

I stopped collecting awhile ago and don't often come across razors that I want to keep in my personal collection. However, I do have a soft spot for really old Sheffields and when this rusted, broken down old stubtail came in a lot I bought I couldn't wait to bring it back to life and put it into rotation.

This 11/16 James Hall received a regrind to remove most the pitting while still keeping the grind a wedge/near-wedge.
The scales were also kept close to the original shape with a fresh set of buffalo horn utilizing the original lead wedge.

All in all, I'm really happy how this turned out. Thanks for looking!

Very tastefully done! I love the work.
