W&B The Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor For Barber's Use

I've been done with this one for a while but waiting to get my light box set up and get some pictures that did it justice. Not as pristine as I'd like it but considering what it looked like when it came to me I'm pretty pleased with the way it looks. As far as the shave it is fabulous.

Scales are original as is the wedge.

One of the collars was missing and I didn't have one that matched so I replaced them with almost the exact match from ajkenne. Thanks Austin.

The blade was 17/16 when I got it but after removing the chip and correcting the heel and tang to bevel geometry I still wound up with a shade over 31/32.

Here are some before pics

Nice work, Paul. Well done :chapeau

Nice razor restore and the light box seems to add a bit to your pictures too.

Good job Paul. Really nice:tu

It’s a classic. Looks great. Great restore.

Very nice, Paul

Very nice job on that one. Something to be proud of.

Thanks guys. This was my first FBU chopper. They go for stupid money but I now see why. If you like a big beast then you would love one of these. Steel is great, heft is great, look is great. It gives a sweet, clean, mega-shave. Best too much money I ever spent on a razor

Outstanding Paul! Well Done!

Sweeeeeeet!
