My Dynamic Trio - Restored by Undream!
So - to preface... Undream restored ALL 3 of these for me, and they are excellent shavers. I always smirk when I look at these 3, and then my "brand new" Thiers-Issard from The Art of Shaving, as it doesn't shave near as well as the old bucks.
So, to intro... I have a W&B, with formerly destroyed horn scales, now featured in Jade Ghost. The W&B did require some pretty good blade work to bring up to snuff. I have a Black Demon, original scales, and a LOT of blade work. Finally... a W&B with the Star Spangled Banner engraved on it... this blade was formerly quite dark.. and is now a beautiful piece of art. It fashions brand new horn scales to replace its badly damaged previous scales.
Brad went totally above and beyond on these razors... They are all currently in rotation, and definitely shave as good as they look. They're exactly what I pictured in my head when I went to Brad and asked him to take on these 3 problem children.
Brad, excellent job man, and thank you!

I agree. They look truly awesome. I really like those W&Bs, particularly that Star Spangled Banner.

Congrats on three fantastic looking razors. Brad has done a fine job on all three. I have to agree with Jimbo, I really like the Star Spangled Banner (and I'm an Aussie
)

Love all three. The wedge of the Star Spangled Banner is awesome and I love the elegance of the Jade Ghost and the Black Demon is very original.
Kudos to your taste and Undream's skills.

Those are just beautiful! I think the lined wedge on the Star Spangled Banner is spectacular. Brad is awesome.
