7/8 W&B in honey horn

A nice sway back smiling 7/8 Wade & Butcher. One of Sheffield's most prolific makers. Received as just a heavily corroded bare blade it is restored in a glazed finish with a nice thin and even bevel. These smiling blades provide a very comfortable shave IMHO. Scaled in honey horn with brass beehive collars and a lead wedge. The in work pictures show the blade off the 400 grit belt and the bevel set on a 1K hone.

I probably would have just pitched that blade in the maybe someday box. That is one of the finest restorations that I have seen Karlej! Those scales are awesome. You really did well on this razor! How's it go - From Shit to Shinola!

What a transformation! I doubted that the blade could be restored but was dumbfounded when I saw the results. She shaves like a dream. Thank you Karl!
