Gold & Butcher

[Firewalker]

I was able to save a pair of old Wade and Butcher scales after grinding out a lot of chips and some worm holes so I took a Gold Dollar and made an attempt at making a Gold & Butcher razor for the scales. I like it a lot but shaving with it is going to take a lot of practice.

Too funny. So that used to be a stock "66"?

 

[Firewalker]

Yup, stock 66. Amazing what you can do with a piece of junk not fit for use.

The "Celebrated" G&B, well done..... so why will it take a "lot of practice" ?

 

[Firewalker]

I have never used a curved blade before, there is less edge touching my face and I find that disconcerting.

Love the style, before reading through the whole text I was sure it was a razor restored from the 1800s. The simplicity of it makes it that much better. Must have taken quite something to grind away?

I actually a very similar thing here on my bench - it was supposed to be part of a honing pass-around that never got off the ground.
It's a W&B in GD scales, your spin is better looking though.
