    Default Matching Set of Lovelies

    Gentlemen,

    The universe gave me a sweet smooch this past weekend with this set of lovelies: Smiling Wade & Butcher 6/8 hollow ground matching set in pearl scales. Oy mama! The razors are in superb condition, and all they need is a wee bit of cleaning and polishing. Of course, honing. Thanks for viewing the photos.

    A fine looking pair indeed Obie!

    Shaving with them will be much better than changing light bulbs at K-Mart....
    It is just Whisker Whacking
    Relax and Enjoy!

    They are gorgeous Obie ! Did you say pearl ? They look like ivory.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Jimmy, my wife and I have been having a conversation on whether the scales are ivory or pearl. I said ivory, but she thinks, because of the various grains running through, that they are pearl. Yes, I am curious myself.

    I totally understand...I found my Holy Grail set simply by asking if they were available for purchase... Lovely Sheffields!
