    Cool Wade & Butcher Tapered Blade: ca. mid 19th Century

    Just finished this vintage restore on a tapered blade W&B...everything is original, with a crocus finish on the blade. I place this blade historically somewhere around the 1850's give or take.

    Came out of ICRU (intensive care razor unit) looking new :<0) I like the blade profile. Not many of those around.

    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Thanks my friend! I honed it up last night after I saw you...getting ready to shave with it this morning. It took a real nice edge...two layers of tape and 'Easy-Peasy'!

    Sending message through time and across dimensions to WOLFPACK....hoping it is seen.

    Think I found a blade like this one, it is on the way to Phranky's shave den, and like this thread, will definitely need RESURRECTION!

    ...although I am the necroposter, he's pointing at you Wolfpack!

    Through the 'mists of past posts' the message is blurry...almost something...Wait...wait...it's coming through now...
