    Default 5/8 Wade Butcher near wedge.

    Room mate made a nice little find on ebay.

    It was a bastard to hone, but i got through it. nice little shaver.

    Also the wedge in the scales is made of lead....never seen that before.

    very nice find! i have several razors with lead wedges. all of them are heavier grinds, helps the balance i'm guessing?

    lead is super easy to work with and was very common a ways back. It also helps to balance a heavy ground blade. Ab un balanced razor is not very nice to strop.
