Love this W&B. its nearly 9/8 and a very nice shaver.
Isn't that bocote? So you've got one horn scale and one bocote? Sounds pretty cool since the wood would compliment the horn nicely. What was you're reasoning for it?
Ta-Da the W&B Bow with the cracks in the heel is Shave Ready :) Was a great shave as well. Just a bit of getting used to the heel being out there a ways :p
Maybe it's bocote... I really don't know. I'm not a wood guy. I didn't do the repair/rescale; that was the way the razor was when I got it. Since the scales are comfortable to handle, functional, and safe, having them replaced is not a priority, but I will probably have them redone at some point.
Wondering how rare this is and is a straight like this easy to come across again? Does anyone know ay history about this beauty and do you think the final cost justifies it's worth? Check this baby out
