Wade & Butcher restoration

Well I've just finished the restoration on this Wade & Butcher, everything original including the scales which I'm pleased to say turned out better than I thought they would, haven't yet honed the razor, I have several other razors I must hone first so this can join the queue, I'm really excited about giving this razor a shave after all she's around 150 years old, OK on to the photo's hope you enjoy.

Beautiful. I had the same scales on a W&B from the bay. I didn't think I could restore them, now I realize what a big mistake that was!

WOW!!! I bow to your craftsmanship! :bow

What a beautiful razor Jamie.
Well done!!!

Beautiful job Jamie, a very well executed rescue!

Great job. Those razors are great to shave with. Hone it up and put it to use!!

Very nicely done. Those scales look great!

I don't know the taste of soup or how a fool tastes but I do know that that restore is amazing. No one gave you kodos on the camera work either. Great shots. Nice warm saturated feel...sorry I'm a graphic designer...jeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz...LOL

Fantastic restore Jamie. Well done mate, looks great.
