    Default Restoration opinions on wade and butcher

    So I have this very charming wade and it has etching, was wanting to see what u guys thought of buffing and mirroring anything on this because if I do it won't match the rest of the razor... So I was thinking about just leaving it as is, I only hit it with some mothers and went to town....

    You may want to try hand sanding.

    I would not buffing because patina is homogenius and it is perfect look.

    I would not use a buffer on that blade. You could do some selective hand sanding and let it run for a few days in a vibratory polisher, and then blue the etch.

    Clean with soap and water, pin it back on scales, put two layers of tape, hone it softly, build a good lather and be happy. IMO. Beautiful blade.

    just polishing compounds IMO.
    Any more aggressive means will affect the etch too much.
