Glen, unfortunately, I can say nothing about this razors maker.
I know Thomas Wilton, but not W.G.
But I'll try to find some info.Alex Ts.

If I look at the razor mark I´m shure it´s the same like this: Fine Razors - W.C. Wilton 9/8 with bone
But now I´m not longer shure, if the G or the C is right

Looks to be the same...

I am thinking more G. than C. who knows though, even in the books I have seen some of those initials wrong... But at least we all agree on W. Wilton

What are you going to do for a sharpness test when you're done? Butcher up some pork chops for the BBQ? Don't drop that sucker!

Thanked: 13245 Update !!!
Some updated work pics
This one did not go quite as planned, after 4 passes at the buffers the pitting was still in there so I decided to take it to the next level and re-grind the faces.. These pics are at 80 grit on the buffers with greaseless compound...
I will set a bevel on the razor tonight to make sure it is all even, then re-buff the razor to as close to mirror as I can get... Then after all that fun I'll re-set a bevel and hone her up...
Now the scales are coming along too...
This is highly figured Leopardwood I picked re-con Amber for the wedge..
I am putting on layers of CA right now for the finish, but I haven't decided where I am going yet with the Hardware and 3rd pin....

Looks great so far! Did you do the regrind using 80 grit greaseless or was it with a grinder?

It was not with the Greaseless, but what I did is not a safe nor smart operation so I will leave the details out...
With a razor like this that is so thick and has so much steel you can get away with much, much more...

I bet you used a dremel, but don't wanna admit it

Just messing around. Whatever you did, it looks like it worked pretty well. I look forward to seeing the finished razor
