that is beautiful........ truly... very very nice....
Hello, Richard:
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, it is a gorgeous razor. I have always fancied those swayback razors with the barber's notch. What's more, I love the way these Wade & Butcher swayback lovelies hug my Hollywood face. In addition, I prefer the heavier grinds to the full hollows. As for the workmanship, my friend Max is in his own class.
Regards,
Obie
Gentlemen:
The Maximillian arrived and the photos don't do it justice. The razor is magnificent. It's a big blade, a sleek swayback, I'd say a 7/8" in width. The caramel color scales paint the Wade & Butcher with teasing sophistication.
Indeed, I am ecstatic. What's more, the razor is the perfect fit for my hands. The shave will come on Sunday, when I will throw away the clock and put on a show for myself. Barring any changes, here is the menu:
Music: The unaccompanied cello suites by Johan Sebastian Bach, with Yo-Yo-Ma
Brush: Thater 24 mm. silvertip
Pre-shave: Castle Forbes
Cream: Castle Forbes lavender
Aftershave: Spanish Leather by Truefitt & Hill
A breakfast of chopped green peppers and tomatoes sauteed in butter and then topped with two eggs will follow. This an Assyrian specialty. Coffee, of course.
Oh, yes!
Regards,
Obie
