An example of how nice these are....the FBI after 5 minute light sanding on the FBU W&B

Sounds good, pm me and ill send it to ya, maybe you can salvage something from it.

My younger brother is also a barber and gave me hell all day here at the shop about breaking that razor....

Luckily I have probably 30 useable razors just happened to be one of the more valuable ones I destroyed... live and learn

Its a variable speed...had it set to around 2000 rpm. I'm still so sad about the razor. Like a record fish that got away... :-(

Or.....ill do some haircuts and buy one ready to go ....less risky. Glad that blade was given to me by a customer rather than shelling out big bucks....still makes me sick though.

May just put that mint never seen a hone or strop wonderedge duck to use to make myself feel better.

Steep learning curve for ol Dennis...

Yeah I had it taped for hand sanding it, it had a lot more light pitting than the pictures showed...was just doing the final polishing since I didn't have any fine grit paper....

Yeah I knew better than to get the edge near it and had been buffing on it 30 minutes probably and was doing the final touch up then it barely grabbed it but caught the stupid safety guard then...

Nah the stupid safety guard ate it, and the shrapnel flew into my finger and drew blood, not a big deal there, should have tossed the "safety" guard first thing....*sigh* couldn't wait to get that...

Last stroke on the buffer and slam....and was careful as I possibly could be.....think the buffer snagged the barber notch and proceeded to try and swallow it....was applying no pressure....I'm soooo...

Polishing up nicely so far....start of my first restore, tape to avoid sanding of parts I don't want sanded till I get to that point so I don't screw stuff up. Next step will be removing the scales...

Looks very nice, might go that route, that or id thought about maybe doing a burl, anyone done one in burl and wanna share?

I want everyones opinion on scales material for the W&B, think this will be my first recondition project!

That'd be awesome, if someone nearby is up for the task I'd love to have it reworked.

Yeah I'd love to restore it for use on my customers but I need to study up on it first as I have never reconditioned any for use....yet!

Other side

I've been given 6 razors so far. One is a really nice Boker & Co.

Found this forum looking up info on some razors I have picked up over 15 years of being a barber. First pic post! A customer of mine gave this to me a few weeks ago....free. Gotta love being a...
