Good job Glen.
A little pitting is easier to live with than 'the plink of death' from too much steel removal.
Love the scales & finish - oil ? - but not sure about the cutouts so much.

Looks great, Glen - the scales are wonderfully unique...and don't worry about the pitting - I'm working on a W&B with the same problem...just look at it this way, it's a 100 years old, and a few "wrinkles" add character!

Wow !!!! Just finished honing this one, this is the first W&B that I have taken to the hones that didn't have some kind of warp or unevenness in there someplace.... Nice smooth even bevel, and OMG what a smooth shaver....
Normally I test just part of the shave on each razor, you only have so much face, and between restores, and honing razors, I don't usually get an entire shave in there.... but I had time on this one... This has to be the smoothest W&B I have ever tested, as most of you know I am not a huge fan of stiffer grinds, or larger razors but this one really impressed me with how she handles....
Somebody is getting a nice shaver heading home in the morning.......
