    Default Wade & Butcher "Full Concave".

    Hello.


    My latest project. 5/8 W&B "Full Concave" with original, celluloid scales.
    There's still some pitting left on the blade, but i wanted to keep that beautiful, engravings intact.

    Thanks Lads.
    Well, dremel from start to finish
    Emery wheel first, then buffing compounds of different grits.

    Well, That's just GREAT! Nice save . Proper and clean, too. Bet it shaves the part as well. All with a Dremel!
    Whatsay, Dremel-haters? An excellent tool in the right hands.

    I'm all for tasteful patina in some cases, and in others (as with this razor), I think that a mirror-polished blade with some residual pitting and other obvious scars of age looks just as good!
