Thread: Wade & Butcher, Sheffield England - 5/8 Wedge ~ Faux Tortoise

No introduction needed for this W&B, Sheffield, England 5/8 wedge which looked best in the faux tortoise.
Blade did clean up to a nice mirror shine with some residual stains left.
The faux tortoise needs no introduction either.
I'm definitly pleased with the final result.

Enjoy!

Very nice job as usual, Max. If I ever decide to have one of my razors restored, it will be hard for me *not* to pick faux tortoise!

No Joke!

Very nice Max, there is something about the shape of these scales that is interesting to me... it almost looks like the bottom portion (about 1/3 of the scale length along the bottom edge) near the hinge has a flatter pitch, then curves out to the wedge... don't know why, but that shape makes me keep looking at the photos

by the way, that 2nd picture is awesome!

Great job as always!

Ahh... tortoise scales. My favorite. Well done Max.

Fantastic! The delicacy of those scales is great with the smaller blade.
