So per a previous post, I picked up a Curley NY "Aristos" Wade & Butcher
(Saturday of a seven day set) for $8.00 at a local swap meet. What are my rescaling options? I really want to go period correct on it. The blade is being restored at The Sharpening Shack in Chula Vista, Ca.
Do you have any pictures of the blade you can post? As for rescaling, check out the classifieds and I'm sure you'll find a member who can complete the job.
Here is a picture of the W&B. It is the one on the top.
period restoration would most likely mean horn, yellow or dyed black with bullseye pins and washersQuote:

The scales in the pic look to be Bakelight, but that is just a WAG from the shape and the wedge...
What is the "Sharpening Shack" and did you ask specifically if the person there shaves daily with a SR ???? That is the fastest way of knowing their experience with them...
Matt at the Sharpening Shack does shave with a straight and so far his work has been flawless.
I think I would want to go with horn and the bullseye pins. Where can I find these?
salvage them from another W&B or make them yourself
