Thread: W.R. Humphrey & Company

here is one of my 4 restores going on right now. this is a W.R. Humphrey & Company Black Cat Cigarettes blade on bloodwood scales with a wenge spacer. 2 coats tung oil with a textured CA 2 coat finish polished up with MAAS by hand. used adjustable pins, however pins not done. the original hex nuts i got were not the 'scale' size. (very important to note. ) also, yes that is some staining on the blade. this str8 is going to the friend that made our W&B and twins shirts. i still need to hone and shave, but i will wait until after our texas hone meet up to do that.

comments as always welcome.

I think you did a very nice job on that razor. Getting yor first restore behind you is HUGE. You learn SO much the first time you do anything and it only gets better everytime after the first. That being said , if that's the the worst one you do, WOW your ahaed of the game....CONGRATS..

And they said cigarettes are dangerous, that is a cool blade. I'm trying my hand at restoring, but I'll most likely send out for the scales. You are a step ahead of me for sure.

Nice !!!!!!
