Razor: Wade & Butcher "The Celebrated Hollow Ground" 15/16
Pre-shave:Noxzema
Brush: Unknown boar
Soap: VDH Deluxe
AS: Thayers lavender and English Leather
Result: I had been looking for a W & B for a while but didn"t want to spend $50 or more on one on Ebay that was covered in rust with broken scales. Luckily on Tuesday I found my W & B at a local antique mall for $14. This blade was all origional with very little tarnish and little , even hone wear. i went ahead and honed it up and skipped shaving yesterday so hat I could have a good two day growth to shave off. All I've got to say is that his razor lives up to all he hype I've heard. Nearly 1 pass BBS. I ended up doing 2 passes just because the shave was so wonderful.

Theseus,
All I can say is: You lucky Dawg!!! Congrats. These things are extremely hard to find in tip top condition. Ones that are for sale are either too $$$$ or have tarnish that goes beyond repair. I am still looking for my holy grail W&B

Razor: 7/8" Wacker w/ Laser etched spine, Full Hollow Ground, French Point (w/ Blond horn scales)

******************************




Have a STUPENDOUS Thursday gentlemen.

Today I finished my 2nd set of Scales.
I had a King Cutter blade in almost new condition (except that the gold washed logo had been erased ). I made some steampunk styled scales from lace wood and copper. I etchted the copper with the King Cutter logo that the blade was missing on one side and the Tree Brand logo (along with a barber pole and the German Weimar eagle) on the other.

She shaved like a dream!
