Wade & Butcher full hollow ground

[Zerandise]

Finished up the W&B today. Blade cleaned up real nice with a minimum of effort. Scales are made from the flame maple that was left over when the Luthier repaired my fiddle a couple months back. Too bad the pictures dont show the shimmer and shine when it is rolled back and forth. Not fancy and no real fan fare. To me it is just understated and elegant.I did a brass lined wedge and a CA finish. Will hone it up tonight and give a test drive in the morning.

Nice job. I bet it's a great shaver too. W&Bs rarely disappoint.

I love the other one I did. Shave like a hot damn!

It is about half way down in this thread: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/317270-My-Restorations-so-far

it aint no full hollow, maybe a 1/4 hollow-better in my opinion

 

[Zerandise]

[DogHair]

it aint no full hollow, maybe a 3/4 hollow-better in my opinion

I'd say closer to 1/4 than half hollow.

Sorry yes I brain farted when I wrote the title. Blade says Extra Hollow Ground.n I would say about 1/4 ground as well.

I've got a couple that say "Extra Hollow Ground" that are clearly more like a quarter-hollow, just like that one. I think the standards must have changed over the years.

Beautiful razor!
