Thread: my big Butcher got a little brother

saw this one and thought what a wonderful razor to add to my 17/16 Celebrated Hollow Ground ..
this one is 6/8 at the heel and 13/16 at toe .. i did a BIN on my cell cause it looked bigger on my cell and i didnt see that it was listed as 6/8 till i got home on the computer so i payed to much but was happy to see the blade was pretty clean .. took a nice bevel and i played with it on the new coticule and i have it popping arm hairs so nothing left but to strop and do the real test on my o so handsome face of mine ...

I got a soft spot for those old W&B's! I'm looking for a large one ATM.

Good looking old razor, but there is a problem. I was hoping for a pic of the "brothers" together...

I like it that you left it alone and just honed it. I'm one of those who like to see the age on them. Sure, cleaning them up is one thing, but imagine Clint Eastwood going to a plastic surgeon to look "young" again...it just doesn't work for some.

i always wanted to have just ONE completely restored and a nice mirror finish on the blade ... it so happened the one i had done was the bigger W&B and all though i was blown away at the finished results i question my decision a lot of times for having it done !! ill put them together for a family phot shoot for ya ..lol
