    I'm assuming you've had a shave with it, what did you think?

    Outstanding score Mark. I have quite a few razors in my rotation ranging from U.S made,Germany,Japan,Spain,Sweden,France,Italy etc. But find myself anticipating the use of my big Sheffield Greaves,Wostys and W&B's more than any.Good luck on your journey ! And kudos on your selection !

    I've never met a Wade and Butcher I didn't like. Very nice mark. My W&B's have always given me great shaves. bj

    Good looking piece, though I prefer the stacked washers look.

    Gongrats on getting the one you've been looking for. And GREAT to hear it met your expectations. They really are beautiful shavers.


    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
