    Default 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.

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

    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.

    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?

    No honing issues. So yes, and yes.
