8/8 W&B Celebrated Hollow Before & After
Latest project was this beautiful 8/8 Wade & Butcher. My objective with this razor was to keep it as original as possible. I had planned on using all of the same pieces and just give it a little TLC to maker her feel pretty again. Once I got the original horn scales off and working them over a bit I found that there was too many worm holes and deterioration to save the scales. So, I made new black horn scales but everything else is original. Brass "bullseye" washers, lead spacer wedge. I had to leave some slight pitting so as to save the etching on the blade but I am pretty happy with the results.

Really nice restore. The blade looked like it didn't have any
or much pitting. That almost makes it a pleasure. Great scales - it all came together nicely

Really nice !!! Well done on keeping it authentic.
