This blade was just sitting in the drawer waiting for some action some day. When this razor came in long ago I had big plans initially. New scales, nose-shape change, bling-bling shiny, etc. After reading a bit about the brand and realizing the age of this old one, I decided to treat it wabi-sabi style, as the Japanese say. There’s beauty in aging and so I left the worn horn scales as they were, did not polish a thing and simply honed her up. Rattler or faux-frameback, whatever you want to call it, a delightful shave she gave. :)
For the tang stamp fans:
The box says that she was bought at the Coiffeur L’AILLIÉ in Aunay sous Auneau, a small community south-west of Paris. Nice history.
And happy belated birthday Jerry!
Nice Leon Pelleray, Sashimi!

Have a great day!
Hi All! Back after a very long absence. So long in fact that I couldn't retrieve my old username from the old forum before it got compromised.
Anyway - Today's shave is a restored Wade & Butcher. New Rosewood scales. It shaves very well. Has a bit of a smile but that's OK.
I didn't take it to the greasless because I would have lost all the nomenclature which is still readable but faint. Mistakes made - I don't know why I didn't tape the spine while honing. And I utterly forgot to sand down smooth the inside of the scales.
Shave bowl: Hand made ceramic by Sosan Fong in Calgary, Alberta
