    Default 1820s Wade & Butcher, Black Horn

    blade was in pretty poor shape, it got some grinding on the belts, and then some buffing.. The scales are new, close to original shape, and I made a new lead wedge, tried to be as careful as I could while making it (I cut it from a lead brick I found in my grandfather's garage a couple years ago).

    Looks pretty good for a razor that's pushing 200 years old.

    Do you think we will look that good at that age?

    I love blades stamped with a Royalty cypher! Awesome piece of history. Nice work too.
