    Default So a Wade & Butcher and Filarmonica 14 got together and had a baby…

    1 and 1/8 inch Wade & Butcher FBU!

    Quintessential Sheffield Steel with a very symmetrical and outrageous grind that gets wickedly thin at the edge! It’s a crisp and clear singing blade that is an instant
    favorite!

    With 'Barber's Use' on the tang it is a FBU wedge which was reground. The absence of the notch is typical as the thin grind would not support it.
    Nice Hot-rod razor, that!

    Thanks! I guess I collect reground Sheffields…here is a non-FBU with the barbers notch, but it it is only about 7/8, and not quite as thin…though it’s close enough to sing, and is also a miracle shaver!

    That’s what I thought on both of these…sadly, I don’t know who reground either of them. If I did, I would have almost all of my Sheffield wedges or near wedges reground!

    Impressive is indeed the right word here. A blade that large with such a thin grind...
    Very cool.
