    Default Ready for another hundred years

    My complements to all of the fine work and talent represented here!
    Here is a "stocker", an old Wade and Butcher "Celebrated" with a peaked spine.
    You know the feeling. You buy a bad picture on the fleabay and when it comes parcel post, in an envelope, wrapped in a paper towel, you open it and say: sheeeeeit!
    I finally got around to it and can say with most certainty that it was mostly unused. No spacers and a bent factory pin! Worked 8 hours on it and am ready to hone it and take this puppy home! I did a light 600 greaseless on the spine and reverse tang, to remove some pitting, and polished it. The double collars kept sinking into the Bakelite, so it was unpinned and a 3rd collar added, along with some thin brass spacers, which worked nicely. Super tight! A fine old Celebrated resto! For me, anyway! I bet it hones up easy! Thx

    Man that looks great. Seems like it would feel so solid, and predictable in hand. Anticipation must drive you crazy to want to use it, certain to be a nice shaver.

    How can you go wrong starting with a W & B. Great job. If I had to get rid of most of my razors I'd keep more of my W & Bs than anything.

    Like what you did with that. Nice original restore. Always a bonus when they got no hone wear too ! Lucky you

    Great restore. I like that you have been able to retain almost all of the original parts. Looks really nice, I'm a big fan of the peaked spine.
