Thread: horrible first straight razor shave experience

I have a Wilbert and a couple of W&B's. Both brands are very good shavers when properly honed. I find my Wilbert a slightly better shave than the W&B but that's my subjective view. Different strokes, etc.

After looking more into it. I would be cautious of buying the Wade & Butcher Sheffield here
Vintage Wade Butcher Sheffield England Straight Razor | eBay

because the seller has zero feedback and the sellers account was created a week ago. While the other one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Wilb...item4ade0f1b9c
has a couple thousand responses 100% positive.

BTW, Wibert is an old Sears label. It does look to be in better shape than the W&B.

I didn't look at the sellers info just the razors. It looks to be in good condition but it's ended already anyways. But just to give you an idea that was about ten minutes of looking at razors online.

If you ever have a question about whether a razor is any good just ask and post photos or a link. And many of us will be able to tell if it's any good. If you do find one that you like but your not sure you can pm me the link and I will let you know what I think. If you do find something you want but it's not shave ready send it my way I'll hone it for you. Free of course just pay shipping. I have done this for several guys just starting out. Or you can send me the gold dollar. Maybe I can make it work and in the meantime you will have the shavette.
