    Default Wade & Butcher - Sheffield - Gentleman's Razor ~ Pauacrylic

    Here's one that came from Norway and will be going back to Norway

    It belongs to one of our members.

    The W&B came with patina and some staining.

    Instructions were very clear. Pauacrylic scales, transparent wedge and nickel silver/ss pins and washers. Keep the original design of the scales and clean her up as much as possible but preserving as much as possible of the blade's engraving.

    Cleaned up extremely nice and those are really nice shavers too. Pics don't to this razor any justice.

    Before and after pics.

    Brand: W&B - Gentleman's razor
    Grind: 1/4 to half hollow
    Width: 5/8
    Total weight: 1.8 Oz
    Total cutting edge: 2.75 inches
    Wedge: Transparent Acrylic
    Pins/Washers: Nickel Silver/SS

    Max,

    Another beauty!
    I can't believe how tight you get with your macro focus - what kind of lens are you using?

    That explains it - I'm using an AF NIKKOR 35-75 . It only f's down to 1:3.3.

    I'll never get tired of looking at these shots. Great balance between restoring and refinishing. It's great to see the original etching in place. The owner has some great taste.

    The 60mm Macro is a great lens. I used to own one back in the day but never really used it outside of portrait work. It was almost too sharp and really showed any flaws in the skin. I ended up selling that lens with most of my Nikon kit when I moved to Contax film cameras a few years ago. I did keep an F3 and 50mm. I couldn't bring myself to part with that for the price they were getting.

    Well played, as always, Max.

    "Pauacrylic" is a new material name to me. I assume it's an iridescent shell cast in acrylic, no? Anything extra-fancy required for that process?
