    Got a nice W&B I'm gonna clean up a bit. I wish I could say it was mine. I got my Lt. into SR shaving. He's been at it a month or so. He jumped on ebay right away and scored this 3/4 wedge for cheap. Needs little work to it. A bit of active rust at the pivot, clean up the scales and blade a little, then it's on the stones. If I didn't like working for the guy it may never make it back[emoji2]

    Had to unpin it, too much rust at the pivot. Pins weren't in great shape either. It's got a lead wedge in great shape. It's got a bit of deterioration on the inside of the scales at the pivot. I'm still a novice at restoring, not sure of the scale material. Got them cleaned up though with just a light sand with high grit paper and quick hit on the buffer. Blade just needed Maas and steel wool otherwise it's in great shape. Owner wants to keep patina thank goodness. I'll post pics of final results
