W&B Faux Frameback in Ebony
A couple of months ago Ganboyi sent me a PM about rescaling a razor for him. He wanted something classic to go with the patina on the blade, and I had a lot of fun emailing back and forth with him as we figured out exactly the scales he wanted. It was neat having the feedback from him, but also high-pressure in the shop because he and I both knew exactly what he wanted!
Thick ebony, heavily profiled to feel organic in the hand (not a flat surface on them!) and a polished aluminum wedge. No surface film on these scales, just a lot of buffing and a little hard wax to protect them. The charcoal streaks in the black wood, coupled with the vintage shape, give these scales a really neat feel... like Sheffield "remixed." Anyway, I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

Those scales compliment the nice patina on that blade quite well. Excellent work!

Very nice job. You don't see many W&B faux framebacks around.

Unassumingly it is all business, without pretending to be anything but a solid razor.
Looks like it would be a very satisfying shaver.

You are putting out some nice polished looking scales (and I mean polish in terms of execution, not finish on the wood
). Well done
