Thread: Old Wade and Butcher Need some advice

It goes a long way though. I have a tub I use a LOT and it has lasted for over 2 years and is still 1/3 full.

...the other thing to note is that it's like Bryl Cream: a little dab'll do ya. I probably could have gotten better results but since I was clocking myself I stuck my finger in and got a dollup which tuned out to be too much. It works better when it's a thin paste. In fact sometimes I just use the rag with the residual from last time.

Mike (Outback) is the master of this method and has some really helpful posts about it in the "what are you working on" thread.

As to the horn, the 3M will clean it up some too. W/D sandpaper will smooth it well if it has gotten grainy but the best thing I have found for horn are the fingernail buffer sponges; the multi sided ones used in a progression will make it look smooth like celluloid. There are also posts about that in "what are you working on."

I need pics. My crystal ball quit working, so I can't give my opinion on, how to, IMO.

But in my opinion.... All ol' horn scales need to come apart. Might look good in the out, but guaranteed there's more between them.

Nice part about horn....its easily repaired. Even when piece's are missing.

I really, really wanna spend a week or two with ol' mate outback Mike in his workshop, but he's soooo far away

here is the new project

Interesting coincidence. I recommended the 3M to another fellow restorer about a week ago who mentioned a blade with an etch. Here is his response:

And the pictures

I have two other W&B shavers in the drawer that have horn scales. Now all three are soaking in neatsfoot oil. When they come out, they all will experience the 3M marine polish adventure. I post photos later.
