I suppose the last thing I needed was another W@B, But could not resist this one! Just cleaned it up a bit. The blades a bit loose, but I am surely not going to peen on the pins with those MOP collars! Thanks!

Now that thing is just sexy! Reminds me of a 60's muscle car.
That is an awesome razor, holy cow! Great condition, and very unique... did you find it in an antique shop somewhere? I may have soiled myself if I found something that nice in a junk shop case...
That is Unique congratulations.
Man, that is a beauty. What's more, it seems it is all I desire in a razor: my perfect razor. When I posted that I did not have any specific razor in mind, but now that I've seen yours, one like that one might be :) Congrats.
That is awesome! Though, personally, as cool as the MOP collars are, I hate that they take away from the functionality. Seems like a REALLY odd choice.
What a beauty!
An odd, or different approach, indeed, but that is it's appeal, IMHO. I cannot be sure without unpinning it:nono:, but it seems to have brass washers under the MOP and collars of some type under the peenings.I wonder if they used a brass tube through the middle of the pearl? I know I would have! It also looks as if the top pin has been peened tight in it's history, but hard to tell! If I decide to shave with it, I might just try the dental floss thing instead if messing it up! One things for sure, it is nice to look at!
That just may be one of the finest W&B's I've ever seen, for real !
Outstanding Razor !
love the size of the blade! A very cool find.
i think that is a cool razor.
Congrats. This is a beautiful razor.
Congrats! That definately is a fine lookin piece of gear there!
Tom,
What a nice score :nj. she's a beauty :tu. Scales must not be original though, but very nice. She cleaned up very nice. Congrats :mexwave:.
A one of a kind beauty. Someone who cared took time to create those lovely MOP washers and fit them to that awesome W&B, regardless of the functionality. Nobody else has A razor like that, I feel sure. Congratulations!
Thanks! It is the only one with these collars like it I have seen. The pearl inlays in the old horn are fairly common in old Sheffields. I too wonder about it. Everything about it is old old. I wonder if the collars and scales ARE original or if it was customized when new or fairly new? It could be something offered by Wade and Butcher IF you wanted to pay up? I surely would like to know!:shrug:
Very beautiful razor, outstanding pins.
wow thats a very nice piece
Very nice looking razor
