    Default Wade & Butcher - Celebrated Fine Indian Steel Razor - Part I

    This is part one of 2 restores I was sent from one of our member 'Zethlent" all the way from Japan. I must admit I feel truly honored by Seth to have trusted me to restore his razors and to ship them from so far away.

    In order to save Seth some money we decided he would sand down the W&B at least until the 400 grit and I would take it from there. The razor came nicely sanded all the way up to the 800 grit.

    Seth decided for the faux tortoise scales. Classic but functional design.

    For once I have some before pics as Seth had posted them in another thread.








    I present to you the W&B Celebrated Fine Indian Steel Razor.

    And Seth, I hope you like it

    Very nice max, these may be my favorites of the celluloid scales i've seen you do so far. Blade is perfect!

    Wow, that is an absolutely fabulous blade. I hope to reach that level some day. I am curious as to what grit you went to beyond the 800 as I am still working to perfect a mirror finish like you have achieved there.
    Great Job!

    Trey,

    it's called Voodoo Magic...

    This consist of a buffer, wheels, compounds and lots of care not to lose a finger or two in the process.
