Wade & Butcher 13/16” hollow

by @milarsky · Jul 15

My first real straight razor. An amazing Wade & Butcher that was reground hollow beat back in the day. Hollow grinding was a common service done in the late 1800’s. It was to provide easier sharpening for users. I handmade the black locust scales by hand and used copper hardware for a vintage look.

Greaves "American"

W. Greaves & Sons SheafWorks "American Razor". This 7/8" beauty has a decorative double scalloped spine, and a very deep hand etched eagle. Original horn scales with a mother of pearl inlay. This was simply cleaned up and honed. It has a very comfortable and keen edge.
