Thread: How easy/hard to restore this razor?

Vintage Wade and Butcher Masonic Razor - eBay (item 300272399361 end time Nov-16-08 15:13:40 PST)

I have been looking for a large wade and butcher and have found one above. I was wondering how hard would it be to restore the Masonic Symbols on the blade? Also, the wear on the spine seems to be like a lot. Is that something to worry a lot about?

I am basically looking for razors to practice restoring and honing on, but I am not just buying anything. I expect it to be a good shaver and I am also looking to get sort of a variety so I can see what kind of razors I like. So if I can get this wade and butcher for a decent amount that would be great! I am sure I will get outbid though...
