That explains it then. They aren't the only ones. There have been several companies that lasted only a few years.
My Wade and Butcher 13/16 and a C-Mon that a gave to my little brother. I have another smaller Butcher but no pics of it right now :(
I had just an older W&B wedge restored by Steve over at Razorsharpening UK. Was not able yet to take my own pictures and post them here on SRP.
Anyhow, you can catch a glimpse of it under the "Before & After" section of theinvisibleedge here: Restored custom razors
Scroll down to the last razor of the page. The first photos are "before" and when you scroll over them, you'll see the "after". It's amazing what one can do with an old straight which was bought for 10 bucks on the bay.. :dropjaw:
Testing testing 1...2...
is this thread still alive?
I have a few Wedges, and 2 or 3 more on the way
Can I join in??
Make that 2 Wedges I broke one this morning trying to tweak its bent blade!!!
Oh well a WB or two on the way and a C-Mon I hope should take a little sting out of the loss! Its not like it was an Old Joseph Smith and Sons in original Horn Scales......Oh Wait! :banghead::banghead:
Cool, I have that exact same razor and I agree out of the wedges I own, it's the closest one to a "true wedge" I've seen. Incidentally, I'd like anyone to post about any "true wedges" they may own. I don't think there are any; or, if there are, they're beyond rare.
My Bengall has a mirror finish as well. I took mine out recently and it's in line for honing since I've yet to hone it up since I've owned it.
