Thread: Got lucky

I've been trying to add another large Wade and Butcher to my collection and finely got lucky with this one. It's suppose to arrive Wednesday. and i'll find out then if I made a good buy. I've really got to stop doing this.

Nice crisp angles on the tang, clean clear stamping, no pitting or rust, scales in very good shape, and no hone wear? You don't have to wonder if you made a good buy!

I received the razor today and it really looks good. The only thing I found was that it was advertised as 15/16 and it turned out to be 7/8. For some folks this might have been a problem but the razor looks so good that I really don't care. I used blitz on it and cleaned with soft scrub and hot water and drowned in alcohol. i'm in the process of honing now and since I shaved this morning it'll be a couple of days before I know how it will shave.

Send her this way I,m a 7/8 shaving machine!!!! Good score Roger. Tc

I looked at the blade closely. I couldn't tell if it had been honed before. It took a while to set the bevel I thought I would have to go to the 400 grit but I finely got it. the rest of the process went rather good. 3-5-8-12 and finished on the 20K. now I just have to wait on the whiskers.

I could shave twice a day, there's enough growth to justify it. If I shave just before I leave for work at 6am then before dinner at 6pm I'd still be mowing stubble. Have to overcome inertia though
