Custom Restoration club for vintage blades
I haven't seen a common thread here displaying the custom restoration of vintage razors, so I thought I'd start one... Doesn't matter if you don't have "before" pics.
Wade & Butcher Anchor 9/8 restored by Gssixgun... Lignum Vitae wood scales, brass wedge (and matching brush)
Before:
After:
I'd love to see everyone else's custom restored razors, so please post

Here's a vintage Kropp I restored I made the scales using red acrylic liners and Welsh Holme Oak double pinned washers.
And a vintage German Solingen blade using Lignum Vitae and white acrylic liners and a decorative custom pin that they usually use in custom knives.
