Great shave from a Wade and Butcher. This one was a display case queen for it's entire life. Nice to be the first to run it! Neil Miller leather with Razorock XXX, Thater brush and AQV rounded off a DFS!
Have a GREAT week, ALL!

Strop: MickR's Roo Hide
Brush: Comoy Badger
Soap: Tabac
Razor: Unknown Sheffield Wedge
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: Old Spice
I put the unidentified Sheffield Wedge up against 5 days worth of beard growth, and its performance was outstanding.
The first pass didn't leave much behind, but I went for the full 3 passes and achieved a beautiful BBS.
A fantastic relaxing Sunday night shave.
Have a great week gentlemen, and thanks for the great posts and pics

Sweet blade this one, all wedgy razors feels a little different and this one's more like Sheffield wedge than a Swedish ditto. Very nice shave!

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Omega boar
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Scuttle: Robert Becker extra large
Razor: Wade & Butcher, 5/8 hollow, spike point, in cocobolo scales
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Leather Chypre home made splash
Notes: Wonderful 2-pass BBS, smooth as can be. The splash is new, first time using it and I'm thrilled; oakmoss and labdanum base, with sandalwood and pathouli adding richness, a musky leather coming through, and a bergamot/citrus top. Good fun! Have a brilliant sunday gentlemen.
