Wade and Butcher Celebrated in Honey Ox
This was a restore for a fellow SRP. The razor had been scaled in some old wood scales someone had whittled from a stick and pinned it with a nail.
We did not want to buff out the blade etch so no greesless compounds. It got a run on several compounds to clean it up and put a nice shine on the steel. The scales are honey Ox and partially translucent. There is some nice rolling figuring in the horn. The wedge is Bacote, pins are 1/16 brass rod with brass over stainless washers. Gave it a good honing and it shaves quite nice.

I am in love with that blade...That W&B extra Hollow is one I will be forever in the market for

Great work, love the scales. Have any more left?

A beauty!
I'm working on a W&B that had the worst frown I've ever seen and a very heavy patina with shallow pitting. I'm going to have a light touch with some greaseless compound - but would like to know what you used in its place.

This is the most beautiful razor I've seen here. I love it. That Bacote wedge is perfect.
