Here it is before (top razor in picture), it was in pretty decent shape, just a bit of rust in the pivot and junky scales. Send it to Val at The Gentleman's Den in Toronto. Set it up to kind of go with my Ern.

Nice looking shaver. And I love the scales.
Thanks guys! It's a very nice first wade & butcher
Love the scales. Looks great
Very nice! Thought that may have been yours when I saw it on his FB page! Looks great...always liked the spines on those razors!
Nice restore and the scales are very cool:tu W & B are still my favorites and I have a "new" one that needs a restore as well...hmmm:hmmm:
kool scales!
The scales are kirinite. Curious that the material has such mixed reviews...I don't seem to have any issues with mine.
Make sure you post it in the Butcher Shop forum...the gathering spot of these wonderful blades!Quote:

The wedges are quite nice once in awhile for me, I like the hollows, but it's a definite preference thing....beautiful blade though!!Quote:

I just finished cleaning and honing a Wade and Butcher 6/8 Spanish point and can't wait to use it. if were you I would hang on to that beautiful blade and use something else then in a week or two or even a year you might strike up a love affair with that beautiful little thing. just a thoughtQuote:
