    W&B 7/8 concave feather edge
    Original lead wedge used
    White .06 G10 liner with black mop kirinite veneer.

    I sanded and polished the blade to a light luster, as it seemed to compliment this razor. This is the first razor I have restored that I didn't go crazy with blemish removal, all and all a couple marks of devil spit was all that the blade had going on.

    The scales came out pretty sweet

    Now that's a gorgeous looking blade, been keeping my eye out for one just like it for awhile. And since I used for the first time my TI #69 frameback, I've decided these type of blades really shave extremely well ASAIK....congratulations!

    Finally got my W&B 17/16 Anchor razor back today after a restore and a honing, finished up on an Escher stone I'm told.

    The shave was magnificent, I really like the large blades, and this one certainly delivered an absolute smooth, close shave with two passes. Saved up three day's worth of growth and it was destroyed by Sheffield steel, felt great!
