This was my first W&B bought quite a while ago . I took out the pits, keeping most of the etching and I also sanded away the tang lines. woops .. You live n learn.
I then packed it away until recently.
A guy at work asked me for a vintage blade that he could gift to his father who used to be a barber.
He also didn't have much money to spend.
So I dug out this Bow razor.
I made the scales from a type of Ebony . Its a really tight wood and great to work with.
It was finished with True Oil and then some beeswax .
The wedge is cocobolo, lined with copper. Brass pins n washers .
Honed up Nakayama progression .
He was very pleased..
