    Default W&B Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor w/ Barbers Notch

    This is another all original restore. It is a W&B Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor with original black horn scales with brass bullseye pins and washers. Only real issue is that the blade closes slightly to the left. No sanding done to the blade, only metal polish. Still some mild patina, but it looks good with it, IMO.



    Blade MFG: Wade & Butcher
    Tang: Manufactured by, Wade & Butcher, Sheffield
    Blade Face: The Celebrated, Hollow Ground Razor
    Grind: ~8/8, Heavy 1/4 Grind with Barbers Notch
    Scales: Black Horn, Brass bullseye washers & pins

    Very nice, I have one myself but the scales are toast. That blade came out very well with no sanding, I'm not going to sand mine either - I like the blade too much and to be honest it looks good with the patina as well.

    Congrats on a very nice looking original resto
