Picked up a Wade and Butcher "The Celebrated"
In one of my post I asked about the Celebrated. After talking to the owner at the store they took off 10%. Got this for $21.00. It's a really cool razor. How well of a shaver is it?

You will notice that there is somewhat of a price difference!
Congratulations on securing your one, a lovely razor!

I love my W&B. I have a Special that had a pice missing from the tip. After a little Dremel work and honong it is a great shaver.

They are very expensive. The one on the link has been restored with added "bling". Unfortunately, str8 shaving just wasn't my gig. My 16 year old loves it. I'm sticking to the old safety razors. My boy thought it was way to big so I sold it. Lets just say it paid for 2 round tickets to Florida this spring.

The 2 life partners I bought it from get razors in all the time. I'm always looking out for W&B. My son has 6 razors that where his great grandfathers and grandmothers to shave with. I have two old adjustable 1960's Gillette safety's I enjoy using. So, I hit the antique shops to see what hidden treasure I will find.
