My butchers...First one Is a restore By Maximilian and the second is a celebrated hollowed ground Attachment 82895Attachment 82896
Very nice. I love the look of those celebrated blades.
My first and only W&B, a 8/8" for Barbers Use, rescaled by Dimitri.

I'll post the pics I have of mine so far. They are all in line for some restoration work.
A Bow razor that had the point reground at some point.

A pair of 6/8" with square point and barber's notch - horn scales on both

A 5/8" that's in pretty good shape, apart from the destroyed scales. It will need a tiny bit of cleanup, new scales and some edge work due to small chips (looks like someone cut something other than whiskers).

An Invincible and a frowny Bow blade. They both need some love, but are in decent shape.

Here is my humble contribution to the Butcher Shop. This little W&B is a near wedge and it is a delight to shave with. I cleaned it and replaced the scales and made this set of translucent horn; I honed it on a Belgian coticule.

This other one I also replaced the broken scales and made a set of black horn with stacked washers and white bleached bone spacer.

..and lastly, my W&B for Barber's use, I just cleaned the blade, the scales and pins are original. HOG

Well, I have heard that size doesn't matter so I'll post a photo of my first W&B - a 4/8 wedge.
It was an Ebay find and I didn't know what size it was until I got it in the mail.
It is also my first wedge - but not my last by any stretch.
I had to rescale it so I used light horn with a matching wedge.
I have more in the workshop so watch this space.
This is a before and after of my Great Grandfathers W&B Wedge which I recently had Glen restore.

great restoration.
Do I have to shave with it to be a member? This pic doesn't do it justice, but I'm guessing this one must have been fairly new-ish. The finish is perfect mirror except for those stinking black spots. Re-scaling this one is a long way off, so shaving with it will be also. But I consider it eight dollars well spent.
