    Default W&B Wedge

    Here's a couple pics of a W&B wedge that I did for a fellow in Nova Scotia. We kept the original scale design but did them in Crimson. He really liked that colour. Bone wedge, regular brass hardware.

    I honed this up and finished it on my new Coti. Man, what a shave.

    Thanks for looking.

    Sold! I'll take it!...Oh crap, it doesn't belong to you. Bummer. That thing is sweet. If it ever needs a good home, I know a really cool guy that would love it and keep it warm!

    Another spectacular job Nate!
    The "frosted" finish on the blade shows both the logo and shine.
    I guess that's a trick you've yet to share
    Somebody is going to be VERY happy!

    The frosting was already there. The trick was to try and get some of the impurities off of it without removing it completely from the blade. I started at the highest polishing compound and worked my way down. I think it came out ok. Also, taping it entirely when I was working on the rest of the blade kept it crisp and the lines intact on the toe and heel.
