7/8-6/8 Wade & Butcher in Smoke Acrylic

I just finished this one up and used my newest acrylic by request on it, this is a reversed cut Smoke acrylic blank... The acrylic was sanded from 220-12000 grit then polished using Novus 1-2-3...

The razor is a Custom restored 7/8 slant 6/8 Wade & Butcher near wedge..

I took this one to a full mirror, if it wasn't for one tiny pin head pit on the reverse side I would call this a perfect mirror finish

The hardware is stacked Bi-metal washers, and Nickel Silver pins, and the wedge is Marble acrylic...


Some "before" Pics no scales available on this one for the before shots..

That is a cool scale material! Whoever picked that out has great taste!

What a beauty!

Stunning scale material, Glen. You did a great job bringing that old beauty back to life; the new owner must be very anxious to get her in his hands!

Loving the scales, Glen. Beautiful job!

Great razor porn there!

But where does the razor porn stop and the real porn begin? I can't tell because Glen put such a good mirror finish on it... :shrug:

I Love that acrylic, and beautiful work on te blade too.
Good to see the moose is back.

Yes the new owner is very excited to get his hands on it and yes he does have great taste.;) In all seriousness a big shout out to Glen who does something magical with acrylic, not to mention the finish he put on that old blade. This will be my second razor from Glen and I'm sure there will be many more as long as he continues his wizarding ways.

Beautiful scale material; this keeps getting better and better!! :rock:

Really nice work Glen!!!!

Great job as always Glen! :bow

That looks awesome, love it! The new owner is a lucky guy..!

Nice one G.
That new acrylic looks 3d. Very cool.

The marble acrylic is jaw dropping. Nice work!

What everyone posted above + + + Wow!

Love the restoration but the scale looks awsome, WOW!

Those scales are gorgeous, I wonder what they would look like on a DDuck?

WOW Glen.

Absolutely beautiful. Nothing short of stunning. Great work.

Nice touch using Playboy to show the shine. lol

I just received this razor from Glen! Wow, you guys think it looks good in pictures you have no idea. The scales are amazing in the pictures you don't really get a sense of the depth of the scales they are much more three-dimensional then they appear. And the blade, it is just as mirrored as it appears in the pictures. Oh and most important the shave. I have both full/singing hollows and near wedges and most in between. The thing I most like about the wedges is the way they shave without any drama. Don't get me wrong I love my hollows, but whenever you shave with them you hear it, I feel it alot more, they want you to know they are doing work. The wedge is all business, it does it's job no frill, no complaining. It doesn't make a big deal about it just does. And boy does this razor do the job, only one shave in and I've just had one of the best in my life. Thank you Glen I could not have asked for more!

Beautiful work! I love those scales. It's nice to hear feedback from people saying that a restored razor this nice shaves every bit as good as it looks. Again excellent work and congrats theheckler!

Wow, wow, quadruple wow! That is spectacular. Did you do one recently in black with white or silver stripes? I saw one but now I can't find it.

How do you keep outdoing yourself. It seems like each razor you produce is better than the last. No wonder you have a backlog of work. Once again a wonderful job. I'll be sending my W&B's next week.

WOW

Thats amazing

Fantastic polish, scales very stylish.

I like all your work Glen, but these smoke scales are very good! :) I don't see the pins good enough, what are the layers? One big ss, small brass, and nickel silver pin?
