Thanked: 1072First W&B, First Horn Scales
In my opinion, probably the coolest razors out there are the old Wade & Butcher choppers. Because I like this razor so much it has sat on my shelf since I scored it on ebay 10 months ago. I wanted to wait until I felt confident enough in my restoration skills to do it justice.
As it turn out after thinking about it for 10 months I decided I like the aged look of the blade, and only gave it a minor clean.
The scales were trashed though so I had my first experience working with horn. With a little help from Brad's videos they turned out really well.
The pins are Nickle Silver with s/steel washers.
Another first for me, the wedge is aluminium, polished up nicely.
looking forward to honing this baby up.
