Thread: The Butcher Shop

Here's an oblique point W&B wedge I just got today, the perspective of the photo doesn't show it though. Looks to be origional horn scales and original pins too, cool...



I tried polishing it up first, and then using vinegar to re-patina it, then sanded lightly to bring out the text. I may or may not keep it like this, I dunno.

Ockam, I like this one you posted. And look at the toe, nice! simple but scary

One more good razor. W&B "American Razor", 15/16.

Sorry I didn't see your post... but thanks a lot Hoglahoo. You are an amazing truth teller: simple but scary... how accurate: she is a really nice blade I get from an ebay auction from a member here some time ago; I really like her curves, but she was my first French point and my first ear cut...

Here is my 8/8" W&B FOR BARBERS USE. (I named him "Butch" today.)

This one was waiting around for a nice custom restoration. I gave it a quick cleaning yesterday (I was bored), and I immediately fell in love with it's old school charm--all natural patina, original horn scales, and brass bullseye pinning. (It has a crack on one bottom scale, but it's solid.)

Needless to say, this one will NOT get any custom features. It's perfect just the way it is. =)

(I've included the before and after photos.)

Thanks,
Christopher

I think that's about as restored as it needs to be. Nice one.

Here's an ornate little wedge in bone.

Sandcountry: I'd just gotten the email that that razor had been relisted, and as soon as I clicked the link to take a look she was gone. Glad a member snagged her. Beautiful blade.
