Thread: The Butcher Shop

Amazing thread, my grandfather shaved with a W&B. It has been a quest for a few months now, to obtain a decent straight razor to refinish. Just won one on eBay today, got lucky refinished with horn scales. He didn't mention it was a W&B in the eBay ad...his bad. Got it for 60$ I will post flicks when it hits my mailbox!

These are the W&Bs I have currently.......

Very nice, they all look like they would clean up very well, are the scales in good condition? Are they shave ready?

Particularly like the W&B with the thumb notch...

I haven't honed any of the W&bs...... I am thinking of sending some in for a possible restore back to as original as possible. Most of the Scales are in good shape. Could use some TLC. I like the one with the thumb notch too.... It's different for sure...

I send all my razors to a fellow member here at SRP, Valery at the Gentleman's Den, he's done all the restore's and honing of my blades. I highly recommend him, I will PM you his info.

Those are very nice. I like that 4th one with the different blade.

Thanks..... That one is different looking for sure. I wonder why it was made like that? To look different? Does that design serve a function? It is cool looking though.....lol

There was a reason for it. They just don't make one a certain way for no reason. I suppose it was so that it could still have the barber's notch but could have a little more reach at the end of the blade. It's hard to say what they were thinking unless it is found documented in a book somewhere as to why it was made that way.

Awesome looking razors, restored in an awesome way! What's the scale material on the top/first razor?
