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...

BUTCH
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.

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.

Yeah, it's a bit rough, but I just got it recently. I'll probably keep it around until I start experimenting with re-etching blades. I would be nice to do a full restore and replace the frosted etch:
