help me ID this W&B and decide wether to restore or not

[touchdowntodd]

what do you guys think?

im not into this for much at ALL... found at a local antique store..

i agree of main concern is the pitting.. but if this would clean up which i think it will, it could be a beautiful razor..

are these any good?

mid-blade measurement is 13/16"
blade width is 1/4"

one more pic i couldnt fit in the other thread

wedge?

[Munxcub]

Nah not worth restoring, send it to me and I'll throw it out for you. :lol:

That is a nice W&B, classic barber notch wedge. Do it up nice! Totally worth it. The pitting on the back might cause some problems, but it's worth a shot.

It should clean up OK.
Put some new scales on it, hone it (or have it honed) and enjoy.
It should make a great shaver.

thanks

if i go for it, it will get the full treatment

[MileMarker60]

Before going "all out", you may want to hone it (or have honed) to make sure you can get past the pitting. As long as it can take a clean edge, the rest is just cosmetic.

[touchdowntodd]

ill definetely be sure the edge can be good before full resto

thanks, any more info?

As said earlier, the only thing that I see of concern is the pitting near the tip, if a honemeister can get a good edge up there you're golden.

There is so much meat on a razor like that, pitting really isn't that much of a dealbreaker.

Looks like a good score!

thanks guys...


hopefully i can get the cash together to have this gone over soon.. every day i pull it out and look at it and wish i could try it!
