Thread: The Butcher Shop

Mid-sized, heavy grind W&B with Barber's (Sheffield's) notch from approx 1866 - 1870. It looked its age when I won it for close to nothing on the bay. Scales were totally rotten and the blade was in a poor condition. I had her thorougly cleaned and restored, fitted with a set of new dark horn scales, a white bone spacer and bullseye pins. According to Steve over at razorpsharpening UK, she was a real tough cookie to sharpen tough but, whatever he did, it came out well. Shaves are smooth as silk so far.

I'm afraid but the pictures below are not of the quality I initially wanted to post but can't find batteries for the camera right now, so took the pics with the phone. Sorry for that. One can only really only just make out the W&B markings on the tang. The black box seen on the pictures is the razor's original box with the W&B markings, which I will try to clean up a bit myself on a rainy Sunday one day..
