Wade & Butchered...
I had a nice old W&B, Celebrated Fine India Steel.
Shave was always close and smooth, gotta love Sheffield steel.... but the razor lacked a certain *something*. I was shining it up and about to put it up on the BST block, when all of sudden I found a dremel in my hand....
Ahhhhh....now that feels better!
Need to scare up some scales now....

Now you've gone that far you may as well send it out to Chandler or one of the other machine shop guys and get it reground to get rid of all that hone wear.

I guess I'll be the lone voice of descent. I think it's sad. the thumb notch I could take, looks good. but to do the rest of it to a w&b india steel marked blade.....man, that breaks my razor loving heart.

And, as far as hone wear goes, yes it ceratinly has plenty of that going on, but it also has pleny of wedgey beef to back it up, so I'm not gonna sweat it for at least another 100 years or so on this razor...Last edited by Seraphim; 06-23-2009 at 07:11 PM.

I have an old W&B that I have had a lot of problems with and would be better off to get it re-ground. However, I am going to keep working on it because I want it to look like it did when it was new.
However, your eye for flare and style is undeniably great. If that were a new razor, I would be saying wow and $$$$$ because the shape and style is fantastic!

+1. You definitely have talent, Seraphim, but it saddens this traditionalist to see a W&B cut up. Originally Posted by Big Red

You've heard of Trogdor the Burninator, well we have Seraphim the Dreminator!
I think that's pushing the limits of what you can get away with, but it looks good.
