Sheffield Choppers in Horn and Bone
I love the look of old Sheffields in horn and bone and here are a couple I finished up this past weekend.
15/16 Henry White Near Wedge - Razor was cleaned up to a mirror finish with most of the pitting removed. Scales are translucent horn and bone wedge. Nickel rod with stacked brass/stainless steel washers.

17/16 Wade & Butcher Barber's Use 1/8 hollow - this one had a bit of rust on it and I decided to use my grinder and 8 inch contact wheel to restore it and retained the original hollow. Cleaned up to a mirror finish. Scales are black horn with bone wedge. Brass rod with stacked brass washers imitating bulleyes washers.

8/8 Wade & Butcher Hollow Ground For Barber's Use - This one only got a light restore leaving some pitting so that the blade etch remained deep. Scales are black horn w/ white streaks and bone wedge. Brass rod with stacked brass/stainless washers. Need to tighten the pivot a little more, but this is one heavy razor.

Those look great, especially the last one! I'm dying to get my hands on a old heavy 8/8 or bigger
