5/8 W&Butcher in sculpted faux tortoise
I accidentally got this off Ebay and it arrived today. Haven't done anything to it yet except for clean the grunge off the scales. Lots of sanding and polishing yet to come.
I was hoping when I bid that it would be actual tortoise, but the scales are very definitely celluloid. But on the plus side, they're gorgeous! The pictures just don't do them justice.

Yeah they're immaculate except for a very slight warp so that you have to guide the blade in. No big deal.
Now to sandblast the small rust spots out and start hand sanding it up beautiful!

Yeah I do too. It's a lovely razor.

I've got a steam machine at work that I plan to use to straighten them out. It's really not much of a warp at all, so I'm not too worried.
It actually looks better in real life than the pics show, the scales have a nicer shine to them than my crappy cell phone pics show. I'm well pleased!
