Thread: Wade & Butcher 7/8 Full Wedge rescale

I had to do a lot of hand sanding on this one, it wasn't too bad with that black stuff but there was quite a bit of active rust, stains etc. I honed it up when I first got it, duck taped the old scales together and shaved with it. There is quite a bit of uneven hone wear on it so it was really good honing practice, lots of heel angle and lots of swooshing at the end of the stroke. I guess its what they call rolling x.

It really is a nice shaver, but the full wedge is a really different feel than my hollow grinds. I like it a lot tho. Now I'm on the hunt for a Barbers Use W&B the big one with a 1 1/8 blade

There are a lot of them out there, so be patient and pick a good one. You will probably see some sketchy ones and/or some overpriced ones before you see one that is in incredible shape, at an incredible bargain. Good luck, and yes, the W&B wedges do have a different feel and sound, or lack thereof.
