    Default New finds :)

    Hello all, I was given two razors today as a gift from my old man. One is a Wade & Butcher extra hollow ground which felt really sharp, so i decided to do a few passes on chromium oxide paste then a good stropping and got a great shave off it! The other is a B.Winks & Sons which i really like as its both my first wedge (didn't realise they were so heavy) and my first blade with a smile. Here are the pics you came for . Any info on them would be appreciated.

    The W&B is nice.

    That Winks and Sons with the ivory scales is BEAUTIFUL!

    Lord help us if Randy sees it! He loves them! He got one 7/8ths from my son that was my first find and it started me into this madness. That is the blade I always think of when i think of straight razors.
