Thread: A new Wade and Butcher is born

I had a GR stamped Wade and Butcher razor with trashed scales and a set of pressed horn scales with a trashed blade (and no maker stamp). So I put them together to get this:







While not an original pairing, at least they're contemporary. In my mind the result is better than each on its own.

That looks great, are you going to hone her?

Of course

Once I get through my massive queue.

That's an old razor with a lot of history behind her, someday I will find one like it.

That looks fantastic.

I'm jealous!

Congratulations! It was the right choice to use the contemporary scales! Looks very good!

Those are really cool scales.

Did you do any cleaning or try to brighten them?

Just a soak in neatsfoot oil.

Nicely done! Cool Blade, Enjoy!

Beautiful! Forgive me, but the scales almost look upside down as compared to most? I suppose an early style!
