    Thanks guys, but it still has a little bit to go. The wife has shut down my work area, for a couple of days(birthday party and guests), so, I will finish it in a few days.

    I finally had time to work on it. I smoothed the ground edge some more. I then polished the blade. Next, I honed it to a very sharp edge, finishing with the Arkansas Surgical Black stone.

    Thanks guys. This one was a nail biter, of a restore.

    This came from my shave with it.

    Tonight's shave was with a recently acquired, restored, and honed razor. I had a very nice and smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. Zero issues. I do like using and honing these old Wade & Butchers.

    Soap- Lisa's Natural Herbal Creations "Tobacco & Bay". Very nice mild scent. I'm not a big fan of Tobacco, or Bay, but this stuff works together.
