Wade and Butcher Celebrated Hollow Ground restoration

Razor was recived in pretty bad condition with lot of pitting and broken scales so I decide to do some restoration work.

Excellent job, turned out beautiful. Should last another 100 years!

Excellent razor porn, thanks!!!

Looks great!! I really like the scales as well! Hopefully I'll be buying a W&B and trying out my hand at restorations sometime in the future. I don't know what it is about them, but I love they look! It seems like they are a popular razor for those who restore them.
