Thread: manufactured by W&B ~ Frameback

This W&B by send to me by fellow SRP member Mike.

I only received the blade, which was extremelly well packaged. Mike's instructions were basically, faux tortoise, nice heft and thick handle and clean the blade. He also suggested his personal scale design and preference as what he wanted to have.

The blade came tarnished and patina saturated. It actually took me a long time to get rid of it as you don't want to overheat the blade. But I managed to see some light at the end of the tunnel and in the end it cleaned up extremely well.

Still need to hone her up and knowing those framebacks it will probably be a PITA... but worth the effort.

Mike, Enjoy!

Thx Mike!!! I did exactly as you requested or at least I tried to follow your directions. And again, pics don't do them any justice. There's plenty of happy campers that can vouch for that!
It's truly a beautiful razor and it's just another example why vintage razor are so in demand. They are unique and irreplaceable.

Awesome job Max!!!!
