Thread: Wade and Butcher Fine India "Gentleman's set"

Super posts from ALL on here I have had these blades for a while, so I decided to create a W@B "Gentleman's set".
Everyone is truly enamored with the big 8/8ths blades! They are nice and good shavers, to be shure. I am also a fan of them. I am, however, of the leaning that they were ment to shave another, as in a barber. The old company made a lot of smaller stuff for men to shave themselves, IMHO.They shave awesomely! These 2 are such items.the larger one is 11/16 and the smaller one is 4/8.
Fine India Steel makes me think of vintage ivory! It just does! I decided to put my newfound knowledge of pinning ivory collarless to work to build this pair. Wider wedges were found. The smaller one came in Ivory, but it was broken. The skinny, super-long scales were from a razor which was with a broken blade and they had to be shortened.. The scales for the larger one were also found with a broken blade. The pics will tell the story. I used bronze to pin them as I liked the contrast. What a lot of work! This will be my last post for a long while. Someone be a nut for me! Great brotherhood here !
