Thanks for all the kind comments!
It's looking better now. Polished the wedge up & it's going back over the buffers later. May post another photo, as ther's already an improvement!

Lovely work Ben, a masterful restoration..!

I love those old W&B's, absolutely great looking razors!

Thanks Stu,
this ones a good one! Love the shape of the blade & the sway in the spine!
Just had an email from the horn supplier letting me know they're winding down the ebuy shop. They have a web shop where you can buy the scales individually, or in any number. Each does enough for two pairs.

Nice job Ben. Like your grinding wheel too

What's the chunky wedge pin ?

Hi Oz,
Thanks! The chunky pin is actually a domed washer, over a plain washer. The pin is indeed slightly oversized though, as i find a slightly larger rod eliminates rattle on worn vintage pivot holes!
