"Almost Custom" 13/16 in Black Micarta & Aluminum
I had this old Sheffield wedge (at least I'm pretty sure it was a sheffield wedge) that had some really bad pitting, and was kinda just "blah"... it was basically trashed. The lines on it were all worn out, the stamp was nearly completely gone, there was uneven hone wear, and it was just in overall poor condition. Even the scales were snapped in pieces on the wedge end. Had I rescaled it in some nice scales, I wasn't feeling like it would have been a really nice razor that would sell well. Heres a pic:

The other side was the same story.
I decided that this razor just wasn't going to make me happy unless I did some drastic stuff to it. Sooooo..... hows this

I am really looking forward to honing this one and shaving with it before I sell it.... if I even do ;)
BTW -- YES, IT IS THE SAME RAZOR. I will follow this post up with a step by step process for those interested in reading it. Gonna play with my son for a bit first ;)
