Wade & Butcher 7/8 wedge sway back French point in pearl

[cannonfodder]

This is a rather unique razor, you do not see many French point W&B razors. This is a 7/8 blade with virtually no hone ware and a sway back spine. The grind is wedge but it is a slightly hollow wedge. Not enough to call it a quarter hollow but not what I would call a true wedge. You can see the grind in the toe end photo. The blade has gotten a high grit sanding and a buffing progression to shine up the blade. It is not cosmetically perfect, there is still a patina speckle here and there. There is a small pit up by the spine on one side and a 3 small grooves in another location along the spine, something scraped it and put a groove on it but it is minor.

The scales are a synthetic pearl with a synthetic green pearl wedge. Pins are 1/16 brass rod with brass over stainless washers. The blade has brass thrust bearings.

I honed it out through 12K and gave it a few passes on some 0.5 micron chrome ox paste. It is super sharp and gives an incredible shave. I is a darn good looking and phenomenal shaving razor. I may use it for another day but it is going into the classifieds. Hate to sell it, it is a super shaving big blade but I have a uber fancy Livi on order and I dont need 50 razors in my shaving rotation.
