Thread: If You Want A Razor Fixed Up To Sell, Don't Send It To Sharpton !! W&B Pearl Scales

You'll want to keep it !!

Wade & Butcher Sheffield England 11/16 blade. Pearl scales expertly cleaned, polished, and re-pinned by Sharpton. Looks like it came out of the factory yesterday.

I've had this razor for years. I hunted for one without cracked scales before I finally landed this one off of the bay. Honed it with great difficulty when I first got it. The pivot was loose as a goose and I wasn't about to risk cracking the scales trying to tighten it. Set it in a drawer.

Tom redid the pinning just as he demonstrates in this old thread here, and I just got it back.

I honed it with a progression of Choseras 1k-10k and finished on the 20k Suehiro. Shave tested (whole face/neck) and got a BBS two pass. Want what I have in it. $350.00 USD shipped in the CONUS. International shipping according to destination.

Magnificent razor Jimmy! Tom sure does outstanding work! Wish someday I could afford a razor like this one.

That sure does like nice but it sounded like you wanted to keep it.

Exceptionally beautiful razor Jimmy, and almost impossible to find in that condition....and Tom did a superb job at making it look NOS.

Beauty!

Yes he did. Exceeded my expectations ! Here is what it looked like in the pix I was going to use to list it before Tom did his MAGIC ! You can't really see the difference in the pix, but it was grungy. Now the pearl shines like a new dime, and the liners are clean like new.

I actually thought you might keep it as well, Jimmy!

Oh well..Someone will get a nice, tight, and sharp example!

Light hits it right and the rainbow comes out!



Best of luck to seller AND buyer!

Shoulderless!!! GAHHHH!!

If I had money earmarked for my descendants that I could draw on they would be that much poorer at this point.

And I agree with Andrew. Shoulderless is the ultimate in my book.

Sharptonn is a very skilled restorer. I've learned a lot from his helpful posts and it's always a pleasure to see his work.

Are the honing issues corrected at this point (meaning a competent honer without corrective skills like myself) can maintain the edge going forward? I can hone most razors well without too much fuss, less some more worn or warped pieces I just don't have the skill set for yet. Also, are you willing to ship UPS?
