Its the small things that we get to look forward to. For me its a Wade & Butcher I picked up off ebay. I know all the recent interest causing increase in price has inflated things a bit lately for W&B, but my purchase was due to the specifics I wanted in my third razor. There was a Frederick Reynolds Sheffield with an almost identical blade profile that I watched as well. That Frederick's ebay auction ended with a price nearly as high as what I paid. So I guess I'm saying I'm not feeling like I over paid by that much. The auction said my W&B will be shave ready. If all goes well I will test that statement tonight.
