Wade & Butcher, Sheffield 6/8 Wedge ~ Faux Tortoise
This one needs no introduction.
A nice and hefty W&B, Sheffield that cleaned up really nice with just a few remaining residual stains and micro pits.
For the scales I used the same Faux Tortoise as the Heljestrand. The wedge/spacer is transparent with a mix of brass and silver pins/washers.
Pictures really don't do this razor any justice. There's something about the shine, reflection and sparkle that's really hard to photograph and show.
Specs
Brand: Wade and Butcher, Sheffield
Grind: Wedge barber's notch
Total cutting edge: 2.8"
Total weight: 2.3 oz
Scales: Faux Tortoise
Wedge/Space: Transparent acrylic
Spacers/Pins: Brass & Nickel Silver
Blade width: 6/8 smile
Enjoy.

Nice clean work max. You did that W & B justice. The scales give it a classy look.

Arguably the prettiest W&B scales ever, hands down and all that. Thank you for sharing.

Max, that looks absolutely KILLER
. The scales are beautiful. And as far as the blade goes- I NEVER had a W&B wedge that I couldn't hone. SHEFFIELD STEEL= GOOD SHAVERS.

That's gorgeous Max! Do you have a production line of far eastern children turning these out? I don't know how you keep up the pace with the standard you achieve mate!
