    Default Very old Wade & Butcher with ebony scales

    Hi,

    this Wade & Butcher belongs to 'johnmrson' for who I've made the scales for.
    The scales are made of ebony, the wedge is buffalobone, rods are nickelsilver and the washers are ss.

    Before



    After






    Comments are welcome!
    Personally I think this is a very fine razor!!

    Nice job and I appreciate the understated buffing/polishing leaving a bit of history here and there.

    It is a very pleasant looking profile on the blade, and I do like the way you guys get your pins looking.

    Are there more pics that I'm just not seeing? Only see an after pic of the tang shot.

    Lovely classy lines and +1 on the patina, I'm a fan of a letting a bit of age show. Haven't seen blade geometry quite this before - any ideas of the age?

    Here's how it works: I send you my address and you "accidentally" put it on the return package.

    Beautiful razor and you did a great job on the resto!
