today i found a W&B the celebrated in a antique shop near the house... i also found a B.J EVRE & CO'S "challenge" razor that will be redone after the W&B.. and also a huge MJ HIGGINS...

anyway here are a couple before photos... devils spit and a tiny notch in the blade that fortunately came right out *(with a tiny kiss from the 3" bench grinder) trying to set a bevel on the blade right now while i decide what wood i want to make the scales out of....





and after a bit of polishing...
