Wade & Butcher Wag-Blades
I've started a new group, gentlemen: The Wade & Butcher Wag-Blades. this is a public group so anybody can join. All you need is a love for Wade & Butchers. Show 'em off and talk 'em up, whichever it is, you're wagging your blades. :D Don't forget to click the link above and sign up.
As a start I'll show my daily shaver: Here is my 13/16 W&B circa the 1850's. Bill Ellis restored and rescaled the blade which I landed off eBay for $20. The desert ironwood has lost some of its glisten, but the wood is still beautiful and the steel is absolutely kickin'! This blade taught me that a spike is a good thing and that smiling blades are best for tight corners. This is my 'go to' razor which sees more action than all my others combined because it just keeps on performing exquisitely.
