Wade and Butcher in Walnut

[prophetic_joe]

I sent my wife's grandfather's Wade and Butcher blade to Max at vintagerazors to be restored and while he was doing that I put together my first set of scales. Walnut finished in CA with a Orange and White wedge to match my Orange, White and Walnut Ever-Ready brush Restore. The blade came back amazing and I have to say i think I did better on the scales than I expected. Criticism is welcomed guys.

Pictures are a little dark. They were taken at night in my bathroom.

That's the first set of scales you've done? WOW
I love the orange! Well done!
Wish I had some sort of craftsman skills. You'll enjoy that shave for sure!

Simply beautiful! Nicely done.

Thanks guys. It was certainly a fun experience. I have a Boker I am looking to restore next. Thinking some type of acrylic.

I'm definitely liking the lines on those scales. How did you come up with the outline for them?

Wow, that looks great. Nicely done, and cool composition in the photo with the brush.
You should be proud of yourself.

Very nice indeed. You should be proud of those as your first set of scales. I love the contrast on the wedge.
