Two 7/8 Wade & Butcher FBU
A pair of FBU's one a full hollow grind and the other 1/4 hollow to wedge. Both 7/8's. Scaled in black horn copied from the originals with lead wedges and beehive brass collars. Two different shaving experiences. I've had the full hollow grind blade for awhile but I just finished the wedge last week. They have seen little use and both have nice thin even bevels. Fun projects for the winter months here in Maine. I wonder if the BFU blades came in any other grinds.

I love pairs and sets, that is not a matched pair but still a great pair. All you need now is a clever display. Nice work.

I think there is a guy in the Forum that makes these cool velvet lined leather covered boxes! I can't recall his name......

Beautiful razors. Very nice work. You can be proud of those two. I would certainly use them though. Maybe not everyday, but not just for display either.

I had not thought about a separate display. Currently they reside with some of my other Sheffields. Just a fountain pen storage box available at amazon.com

Those are gorgeous looking razors. Fine work indeed.

Oh, just a fountain pen storage box.....I'll be back tomorrow despite being tormented by silly fountain pen storage boxes from Amazon.
