    A fully Restored Wade & Butcher Barber's Notch wedge...
    My friend Maier sent this one and a couple more out to me for some work, but this W&B really jumped out at me...
    I ran this through the entire setup of buffers starting with 80 grit greaseless up through 600 grit then switching to polishing compounds from Emory through Chrome and then some final low speed polishing with just Turtle Wax Polishing Compound the finish is a near perfect mirror...
    I used a Violet acrylic wedge as the off-setting color to the Amethyst scales both have some deep flash to them in person that is hard to catch in pics... and used Bi-metal stacked washers and pins to hold it all together... I'll get it on the hones tonight after work and hopefully test shave it and the other two in the morning....
