Beautiful razor. So far, a 8/8 is the largest razor I've handled. I was fortunate to recently get a couple of W&B's in great condition as well. They haven't been honed yet, but I love the look of them and feel of them. It is nice having a bigger blade in your hand. I've heard the weight of the blade pretty much shaves for you.

Did you polish the scales? If so, what did you use?

I have done nothing to this razor. These pictures are as found. The condition is amazing. I believe this is the way it left the factory. Sans the rust on the spine of course.
