Thread: Wade & Butcher 'For Barbers Use' 8/8 rescale

A member here from SRP called 'Snuff' asked me to do a rescale on his Wade & Butcher he got from a friend. I agreed and payed him a visit (he doesn't live far from me). Very nice guy.

Made new horn scales and kept the lead wedge and original stacked washers.

A... i love it
B.... absolutely gorgeous... stunning craftsmanship... better than new...
C.... breathtaking work.... proud to own it.... would love to have one just like it...

In a word, breathtaking!

It is stunning. I have several W&B's, but no 8/8's. I would love to own a razor like that.

Nice work, keeping it correct in dimensions and kudos for saving the collars and wedge. The way it should be!

I love the way you made those stacked washer look. Did you sand them down to round them off or is that from the peening process?

If I may, the "stacked washers" are one pieced brass stampings created eons ago buy a guy sitting and stamping washers betweeen two dies. There also is a supporting washer underneath, of softer composition. I believe it is leather, or thick fabric. Triple stacked washers emulate the work, but these are authentic, I think? I like them too!

Nice job, probably didn't look that good when it was new.

Clean, elegant, stylish and well executed.
