W&B Good As "Gold", M3 That Is...
I have today for your viewing pleasure an 8/8 Wade And Butcher I purchased from a local barber. I tried my hand at bringing the blade up from 320 – 2000 grit, when I was not able to achieve what I was looking for I called in Max. He did a superb job on the regrind. As for the scales I had Bestsilversteel make them from Mokume Gane Black & Gold Burl, Mammoth Ivory wedge and he used the original bullseye washers that I ran for 8 hours in my brass tumbler. I could not be happier with the way it turned out and the shave is amazing! Enjoy.

Thank you. The barber has a dozen or so razors on display, I can't tell you how happy I was when he said he would entertain an offer. A beautiful razor like this needs to be used not on display.

Thanks, I can't wait till I can make it up to show the barber his "old" razor. I'm sure it will make him very happy to see what we have done for it. Originally Posted by lz6
