Thread: The great experiment

Round Four

For this round I am using a 13/16 Wade & Butcher near wedge. I found this one at an antique store this summer and had it restored by Wolfpack. The edge is really smooth; coticule followed by an Escher, I think. This was my largest blade and first wedge so it was very different from my rotation.


Shaving with it the fall was awkward at first. I was kind if getting the hang of shaving with a wedge, when I started posting to the great experiment, so I dont think I have shaved with it since November. I have used it five shaves in a row, now. Manueverability has improved and I've adapted to the minimal feedback. I pretty much have the angle dialed in. Like mentioned above, this is a very smooth razor. The last two razors I shaved with were both vintage blades finished on an Escher, which is now my preference.




The razor for the next round was a gift from a friend here at SRP. It is another W & B wedge, a 7/8s I think.
