    I'm gonna add my w&b to this club.
    It's a 9/8 I recently restored for myself.
    Blade is buffed/polished to mirror shine, orginal scales are polished to a shine and I used the original washers.
    Original lead wedge.

    Before


    After

    Top notch Barbers use! Are the pin washers the original ones? If not where did you get them, they look great!

    Thank you for your nice comments.
    Indeed sir, the pin washers are the original ones.
    I kept the whole razor original, so not other parts were involved.

    The neatsfoot oil worked great on the scales. How long where they in there? You've done great, it's almost as beautiful as the one you did for me (he made some new scales out of horn in the original style and was also able to keep the lead wedge and original stacked washers). Enjoy the 2 framebacks and the Biedermeier project ;-)

    Thanks for the answers in advance!

    That looks to be a microtome also and not a actual straight razor. Flat on one side and hollow ground on the other.
