Good conversation on restoration but it's in the wrong forum. Can one of you start a thread in the 'Custom Builts and Restorations' forum and post a link here please. I'll come back to the Butcher Block forum a few days later and clean the restoration posts out. It is our intent to keep the clubs as as place to share the beauty of the razors. Other topics should be in other SRP forums that best fit.
Thanks“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.” (A. Einstein)

Very nice...thanks for sharing.
I really like that Spanish point, but then I thought...the wedge is really good looking...but man, that frame back...whew. They're all gorgeous.

Thanked: 21Thanks, Jim. They're all keepers - easy to hone and great shavers. One thing this thread shows me is the diverse styles of WB. There's so many out there!

Late EDIT: I re-read this and thought: That's not a Spanish point, that's a French point. Don't know why I thought/typed Spanish when I first posted.

One reason for the variety, I think, is that they were made over such a long period of time, with quite a bit of technical development going on. We would see a lot of variety in Ford cars, from the 1920s to the present, but Wade and Butcher were in operation for a lot longer than that.
This picture is from the early 1860s, showing Sheffield cutlers with both the large stones which were probably the only kind in use for wedge razors, and the smaller ones which came into use for the "modern" hollow grind. One interesting point is just what a number of the latter they had. I think they chose a diameter to suit the width and how much of a longitudinal reinforce they wanted to leave.
