Just picked this razor up at an antique swap meet. Set me back $7.50...I didn't bother to dicker. I haven't seen much info on the W&B "Celebrated Congress" but it seems like a good candidate for some degree of restoration.
The scales had contracted enough over the years I did have to make a new lead wedge. I used some bulls-eye washers as I didn't have any replacements for the thin grommet type washers it was equipped with originally, and didn't want to damage the originals during the re-assembly process as they are pretty delicate. I did of course keep all of the original materials, and I'm sure someone with more skills than I could re-incorporate the original wedge/pins/washers.
So, what says the Peanut Gallery? Is this worth shelling out more money for a legit top end restoration, or should I call it a day, hone it up, and get to shavin' with it?
!! Enjoy the exquisite taste sharpening sharpening taste exquisite smooth. Please taste the taste enough to ride cutlery.

Dennis, I really like the grin on that 7/8! Did you pick them up looking like that or do the work? Very nice!

I try to stay away from this thread as long as I can, the lure of the Wade & Butcher can be a bit too much,,,
I broke away from it years ago because the R.A.D. on these can break the bank.
I'm trying to explore the creams & soaps now, trying to cut back on the hones,,,,, it's damn hard,,,

Found these on the USPTO. I can find nothing on the UK website.

Picked em up like that, look to be nos condition. No signs of sanding or heavy buffing, and one only needed a touch up honing. Either way 55 bucks each is more than I tend to pay but these were too perfect to pass on.
