Thread: Wade Butcher Restoration Advice Needed

Hi Everyone,

I won this WB Medium Hollow Ground Razor on the Bay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_500wt_1156

I got it yesterday and it looks to be a decent shaver. It feels more like a 1/4 hollow ground, has great handling. It however, has some rust and is showing tis age. I want to get it restored to formal glory so that I can enjoy shaving with it on a daily basis.

I am assuming it will need polishing, honing and cleaning of the scales.

Any advice/ inputs on what to do and who should I go to?? Also, how do I find out the age of the razor??

Many Thanks,
PK.

Looks like you got a deal on that one (Item number:320630812128) If you go to the SRP classifieds you'll find member services where there are folks who offer resto and honing.

The link doesn't seem to be working, any chance you could throw up some pics?

You could even just post the pictures. You don't have to vomit them.

If you want to do the work yourself, here's some reading that will keep you busy for awhile:
