Hey guys, I picked up the old W&B on ebay for $15. Was it a good find? I don't yet have a great eye for issues with vintage razors. Can anyone offer an opinion or lend an experienced eye and tell me if I wasted my money? From what I can gather (and please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm still learning) it has a little bit of uneven hone wear on the heel end of the spine and obvious rescaling needed. I'm sorry I couldn't get a good picture of the bevel, though it seemed pretty straight, but could probably use resetting. I'm sending it off to a buddy of Larry's from whipped dog (George razor builder listed on larry's site) to have the blade refurbed, rehoned, Possibly new bevel set (is that a deal breaker?), and rescaled in buffalo horn. I figure the old W&B deserved to go out on good scales.
That's about all I could gather. Please offer your opinions. Thanks guys, take a gander.
