W.H.GATES. first attempt at a restore
i brought this gates razor about two weeks ago cant find much history about it. W.H.GATES is all thats on the razor
i have not spent much time on the restore a cleaned and polished the razor but this thing is as hard as a hard thing,lol. went as low as emery cloth course wet an dry up to 2000grit then autosolve and then a polish all by hand
then i had Neil Miller hone it assemble and repin it. thanks Neil.
and this is the end result
if anybody can help with anymore history other than WH gates hardware this would be greatfully recieved
thanks for looking
Colin

Nice job. You picked a tough one for a first, those wedges can be a challenge.
I know, my first was a W&B which I had to virtually regrind.
Love those scales !!The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
