First shave for this razor, took her back to the Naniwa 1K then through my progression, finished on the 12K onto my pasted bench strop, then finally onto linen and leather, another smooth Japanese shaver to add to my stable.

A mighty fine shave with great little razor, excellent blade, combines the best Swedish steel with the best type of delicate German hollow ground : D
... just like this fellow in our garden, I've been a busy bee and honed two lovely wedgy Sheffield blades this morning

Truly awesome shave today. I recently acquired this Wade and Butcher 6/8 in buffalo horn. It's been rehoned and finished on my Zulu Grey. What a magnificent edge it took...sharp and ever so smooth. It wiped clean a three day beard without the slightest irritation. Probably the best edge I've put on a razor thus far.
Prep: Hot shower with Musgo Real bath soap
Brush: Nobel silver tip badger
Soap/cream: Proraso Green
Razor: Wade and Butcher 6/8 hollow ground
A/S: Proraso splash and Em's balm

A beautiful Sunday shave with my Globusmen Gold. An extra hollow "singing" 6/8 that is an absolute pleasure to shave with. I love this razor so much that I recently purchased another one in butterscotch.
