An old Straight Razor from Wade & Butcher Sheffield whith Walnut wood scales (Juglans regia).
They first oiled whith linseed oil and having a polished Shellac-Finish. The collars and the pins from white copper and the wedge and the middle pin are brass. Sorry for my bad english :w I never paid enough attention in the school.
Looks great!

Very nice scale shape. It makes me wonder why we don't (and didn't) see scale shapes like that on commercial razors . . .
Yes please... definately do that, i am sure everyone would like to see what else you've done.Quote:

That being the case... and the shave being the important part... you do just as well to buy the base model. Exotic steels and effort but into details like scale shape would really set a razor apart and make it collectable.
