You should be proud! Well done.

I have that EXACT razor, restored by gssixgun, but mine has a crack in the scales. It's one of my favorite blades. Enjoy!

Hello, Imperator,
You've done a marvelous job restoring that majestic razor. Yes, the scales are memorable. I believe I have the same model Wade & Butcher with similar scales, although mine is slightly warped in the butt. Yours is almost pristine. A great razor, indeed, especially with the remarkable transformation in your hands. Good show.

I have two with those scales and I love them. I am a big fan of the old Sheffields, especially the W&Bs.
