    Default Wade & Butcher Wedge

    I was raised in Missouri, and just returned from a trip there over the 4th of July. While there I ran into a nice Wade & Butcher wedge as you will see in the pictures. I actually bought all 7 straight razors in that out in the country antique shop.

    The owner was filling out a receipt for my purchase, and I asked for a restroom. He said, "We don't have a bathroom. Why don't you go behind the barn?"

    Somehow, the world just felt more peaceful to me "back there" with the birds and cows. I was home.

    I hope you didn't hurt yourself when you ran into that razor. They can do some real damage.

    Yea around these parts we don't have too many bathrooms either.

    Nice razor.

    My brother-in-law lives in KC, and I get the weather report low down from him. I enjoy bad weather reports when it is 50 or 60 degrees in the middle of the winter!
