Wade and butcher

I recently picked up a number of SRs at some antique stores on a recent road trip. My goal is to restore them, hone them and shave with them. Here is one of my restoration efforts -- a Wade and Butcher, Sheffield, England.

I did this all by hand, starting with WD40 and some steel wool, 800, 1000, and 2000 wet/dry sandpaper, Mothers and Mag Aluminium Polish...and lots of elbow grease. I am quite pleased with the results.:D

That is very pretty. Let us know how it hones up and shaves.

You can never go wrong with care and elbow grease. Looks like a great clean up.

Nice Clean work Whiz, the brightness is hurting mine eye's :D

Looks awesome. Do you have any before pics???

Unfortunately I don't...but I wish I did! It had a fair bit of tarnish...but there was no rust or pitting.

I am looking at 2 on ebay like that right now, hopefully I can my hands on 1 of them. Is that a wedge or half hollow??
