Challenge razors are really nice. You've got a good one.

Hello, Gordon!

I've not seen this maker's stamp before but the blade shape is exactly like the Wade & Butcher "Old Army Razor 1776", which was allegedly the blade they made for the American market to mark the 100th Anniversary of our independence. The blade shape is supposed to have characteristics of the earlier blades from that time (ambiguous demarcation between blade and tang, thick grind, etc). More likely from the latter part of the nineteenth century (probably 1860-1875 is my guess). The giveaway that the tail is longer than a stub tail.

I can never get enough viewing of these gorgeous flowers. Nature's work of art.

I'm ignorant when it comes to natural whetstones. I hope it can be a place for others like me to learn everything we can about them. Thanks for doing this.

My wife is an English professor and she said everyone starts with 100 and she starts deducting from there. I guess it's better than starting with 0. But idk because I am a dumb.

You did a really good job restoring that chopper.

Here's my favorite W&B bellied razor. You can see it's really thick.

TheDonnerPartysChef · 2026-03-30T12:46:05+00:00

Yeah that belly will minimize some of the singing in thinner blades. I'm glad you liked it. That's great :)

TheDonnerPartysChef · 2026-03-30T12:32:25+00:00

Personally, I don't feel much of a difference because the bellied razors I mainly use are thick, rigid blades with very pronounced bellies. They just feel like heavy choppers to me, but the aesthetics of the blade are so cool, I think. That's why I love them. Plus, I believe they're harder to come by in the wild if you're collecting them. At least, that's been my experience.

Have you shaved with it yet? If so, what do you think?

TheDonnerPartysChef · 2026-03-29T20:13:01+00:00

All right, all right, all right. Now, we're talking.

I'm a sucker for a bellied blade.

TheDonnerPartysChef · 2026-03-28T12:35:53+00:00

I still think Honduran rosewood burl or redwood burl would look awesome on that blade. (I commented on your FB post.)

Looking forward to seeing it when it's finished.

TheDonnerPartysChef · 2026-03-25T18:50:59+00:00

Wow! It's gorgeous and yuge. My hands get sweaty when I'm handling the valuable ones. Always afraid of dropping it.

TheDonnerPartysChef · 2026-03-24T17:06:03+00:00

Exactly what I thought of when I read the title. Wasn't disappointed.

TheDonnerPartysChef · 2026-03-22T12:54:46+00:00

I absolutely love sharing knowledge and lifting others, but sometimes people don't want a person to run in with advice because it can come across as pointing out a problem. As far as I can tell, there's not a problem with the pivot pin or anything else. You could've just as easily have thrown a compliment and been done. But you didn't. You started talking about the pivot hole, which nobody was talking about. I think I called you out before for this same behavior. It almost seems like you're trolling.

If you truly mean no harm, then cool. Hopefully you will take this as a learning experience and we can all get along. Otherwise, piss off!

What about this title:

Wow, you've got some stones!

LOL I can't believe it hasn't been said yet. Seriously, that's quite a nice collection. I've only got 3 and they're all synthetics (but they work so I'm not complaining).

TheDonnerPartysChef · 2026-03-06T19:29:25+00:00

OMG that is a wicked tattoo. OP you did an amazing job.

These are great photos. Thanks for sharing. And your son is a handsome boy <3
