DD Wonderedge Restoration
Picked this DD Wonderedge at a flea market in August.....In pretty good shape...blade cleaned up really nice!.....Scales in good shape except at the pivot pin,,,has a crack....had planed on using these scales but have misplaced them somewhere....Oh Well!....Wanted to shave with this so I used a set of scale I made recently.......Sorry for some of the pictures....Got to get my lighting set....Thanks for looking!

Straight from Flea Market
Scales are fun! Pictures don't do justice for blade .
Really enjoyed working on this razor. ...Gonna hone it and shave with tomorrow!
Again, many Thanks for looking!

Great job! I'm impressed. I aspire to be able to do comparable work one of these days/years.

Nice work on restoring the razor. Were you able to maintain the spiraley indentations on the tang? However, In my opinion the scales would have worked better in all red - I'm not very particular to the brown/black scheme.
But as long as you're happy!
Keep up the good work!
