I just got word from Max that this razor was finished.

These are Max's own words posted on SRP ( I hope you don't mind Max), but thought some of the folks here would like to see this restore also.

"I got to work on a W&B Frame back which got a full blade restore. Forgot to take before pics but the blade got completely ripped from blemishes, went through the whole greaseless and rouges. Took a real nice finish.

I got some requests and directions as to the horn scales and design. Pins are all nickel silver and a mix of NS and Brass washers. Tapered abalone acrylic wedge. Horn is truly gorgeous and got buffed to a high shine.

Those razors are a pain to hone but take a really sweet sharp edge."

Here are some before photos

I'd like to thank Max for doing such a fantastic job restoring this razor for me.

WOW, that looks amazing. I'm about to start restoring an old boker, and I'm praying that I can do nearly that well.

That's beautiful. It's very simple, but I think that makes it more attractive.

WOW!

I have a love for W&B blades. I might just have to hit him up for a restore on a W&B hollow ground.

Do you have his contact?
