    Default 7/8 W&B French point wedge in abalone and a 7/8 W&B celebrated hollow in black lip pe

    What a sweet shaving pair of Wade and Butchers. The first one is a French point wedge that got a light sanding and buffing and put in a set of laminated abalone scales. Pins are 1/16 brass rod with brass over stainless washers.


    The second is a 7/8 but an unusually long blade, quite large. It is a
    Wade and Butcher The Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor. The blade did not get any sanding but it did get a full progression on the buffing wheels. Scales are a synthetic black lip pearl with a white pearl wedge. Same pin configuration. Both blades are a near mirror finish. Honed them up and gave them a shave test. Wonderful shaving blades. Going to be sorry to see them leave for their home.

    Cannonfodder is the kung fu master of shiny W&B restores! These two are actually mine, and I have another one restored by him too. Very proud to give these a good home, and they will be seeing a lot of action in my bathroom.

    Thanks again for the great razors and all of the excellent work! --Jeff

    They are both exceptional shaving razors. I have had a lot of W&B's pass through my hands. One of these days I am going to have to hang onto one of them for myself.
