    Default Gilbert Brothers Sheffield Wedge

    Another of the razors I did a while back but never posted pictures of. I am working my way through pictures so I should have some up soon for a few other projects.

    Here it is, a Gilbert Brothers Wedge measuring 7/8" at its widest, down to 4/8" at the thinnest. Scales are blonde ox horn, wedge is the black smoke quartz. This wedge turned out better than my last quartz spacer, thankfully. Copper decorative washers.

    Only one before picture:

    Here are the after picutres - I didnt want a mirror finish because the light pitting gave some character to an already odd razor:

    Lovely work! I really love seeing those old Victorian-erea blades restored and put back into use.
