Could be a fine shaver. The one thing that I notice is the scale width up close to the pivot. Looks more like what you would see on a thinner blade. JMO.
It's just Sharpening, right?

Thats a nice razor for sure. Generally speaking those W&B's are well worth the effort to clean up. Nice find!!

A great blade for restoration.
There were a few makers utilizing that type of grind at one time or another.RezDog likes this.Mike

Pretty sure they are not the right scales. They open very tight

"Diamond Edge" maybe ?
Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.

Nice razor. It looks like with a little 0000 steel wool, some polish and a rag it would look incredible.

If you get us close up clear pics of the pins at pivot vs wedge, we can probably tell
