Thread: Thanks Max! 8/8 Wade & Butcher

You may remember this thread:http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...ts-seller.html

When I received it:


My attempts weren't getting anywhere, so I sent the razor to Maximilian. I received these images last night:

Before:


Restored:


Rescaled:




This blade had a lot of pitting, and I can't believe how clean Max was able to get it.

Wow! that's a very impressive blade, great restore Max, wouldn't mind adding that chopper to my rotation.

Jamie.

Oh yeah, that's a sweet one!! Congrats!

Max sure does some very fine work, do you know if he reground it?

Yes, I believe he did to get the pitting out.

Rune, there was no other option as to reground the blade as to get the orange skin pitted look gone. I try to stay away from greaseless and will only use it as a last resort if everything else fails. Unfortunately I could not remove all the pitting especially towards the lower half of the blade's grind which was extremely thin. It would have bend like alu-foil if I tried to go any further. It's hard to notice on the untouched razor pics but the pitting, although shallow, was extremely bad. It looked like the razor was dumped in a glass full with acid.

I appreciate the work you put into it, Max. Thanks.

Great save Maxiimillian! Enjoy DFried.

If I were stranded on a deserted island with nothing to shave with, but a clam shell & that restoration from Max; well,,,, I guess I would have to choose the Wade & Butcher above.

It would be a tough decision though.

Thats a beautiful blade. Im just getting into shaving with a straight razor but a W&B chopper like this one is on my list of compulsary purchases. Max has done a fantastic job. You lucky man!!!!
