    Cool 7/8 Wade & Butcher Scalloped Back Custom restore

    This one came in with just a blade, not in bad shape either.. Had a little toe chip that I took out before I started the polishing... The steel on this W&B was in great shape so the outcome was a near mirror finish...
    Tim asked for the Tiger acrylic and I used a set of old W&B scales for a template.. Bi-metal washers and NiAg pins put this one back together ...

    Lovely work mate, and great photos too. And I'm not just talking about the last one.

    Beautiful work Glen, you took 120+ years of wear right off that razor.

    Great work! You have been able to make the old and the new work perfectly together. I suppose it doesn't hurt that you made the blade look new!
    I like it! Thanks for sharing!
