A REAL meatchopper
This W&B is one of the nicest vintage razors I've had the privilege of working on. It's an 8/8, which is a honkin' big blade. Honing it feels like honing a meat cleaver.
The scales are original--I just shined them up a bit. The blade is reground with a high-shine satin finish. My only regret is that I wasn't able to clean the tang better. The customer wanted it kept as original as possible, so I just cleaned what I could reach.
I've never shaved with an 8/8 before. I have a feeling this one might "fail" the first shave test, requiring another round or two of evaluation.

Yeah, you might need to send it around to other, more objectively minded members (like myself) to fairly test its shave-ability.

I just finished the twin of this razor for another member. It weighs a ton!
