I just recently completed my first restore. I picked up this W&B at an antique store for $10. It was in pretty good shape when I got it, here's the before:

The blade had some pitting & stains, & was pretty dirty. The scales were broken at the top pin.

Worst of all, the blade didn't even fit the scales! Whoever scaled this last just shoved the blade in there as far as they could .

So I ditched the scales & made some new ones out of g10, jade ghost. I did did my best to hand sand most of the pitting & scratches away. It's not perfect, but a lot nicer looking from when I got it.

I decided to skip the pinning process and go with micro-screws instead...much easier!

One question: how do you sand the tang without erasing the stamp? I didn't do too much sanding on the tang for this reason...

Also, I got a little impatient towards the end and decided to skip the wedge, just using clear spacers instead.

Technically I'm not quite done yet-- I still need to file down the excess screws, but I think I'll save that for another day.

The honing was a royal pain. The blade is a little warped, so I could never seem to get an even bevel on it. I tried 100 different ways -- J stroke, leading with the heel, tape gymnastics galore....Finally I read a post from someone who said they started with 3 layers of tape, then went to 2, then down to 1. DMT 1200, norton 4k/8k using the pyramid method, did a rain dance, spun in a circle three times, & threw some rune sticks up in the air and.... it worked! (I'm not really sure which method it was that worked...I kind of think the razor gods had pitty on me because I had been at it for so long...).

Best part of the story: She shaves like a dream. When I first brought the razor up to my face I braced myself for a rough shave (I've only honed a few razors so I honestly wasn't expecting it to be that good). After the first stroke I had to consciously keep myself from smiling. I've never had that good of a shave, it was like slicing through soft butter! This was also my first time using a W&B.

It has definitely become my favorite shaver.

Feedback? What do you guys think? Anything else I could/should do to it?
