    Very nice. Would love to try one of those big W&B's someday.

    With most blades you have to push them forward with a light touch, on these you have to apply the brakes.

    I've read a lot on here of guys saying that type of stuff about them. I just purchased a 6/8 wedge earlier today in the classifieds. It's no hoss like a W&B 8/8 but it is my first wedge and first blade over 5/8 so I'm psyched. Baby steps lol

    Very nice restore! I really like seeing razors restored to as close to original as possible. Enjoy your shaves with that beauty!

    Very well done on your restore. I keep looking for a good candidate like that to try my hand at this.

    Nicely done!

    How did you remove and replace the washers on the pins without damaging them?

    Very nice job. Great work on the scales too.
