    Default W and B 5/8"

    This arrived in the mail today, my last buy from March.
    Lovely little blade with a hint of a smile.
    Just over 50 clams, so I'm happy !!

    I've got a very similar W&B same size, but mine has the 'Special' markings on the tang where yours has Wade and Butcher etc with the W&b etc on the OTHER side of the tang. I don't see a lot of the smaller Wade and Butchers, it seems every one is after the big wide wedges. I love mine, it's a very nice shaver, the steel is SO smooth...

    I think that's a very nice purchase...

    Totally agree with all you said. Particularly the above. These smaller razors are fabulous and less competition for them as well !!

    This is one of the only two Sheffield razors I kept in my collection, they are exceptionally smooth shavers and take a very easy edge..

    Nice score

    Nice! I have an earlier, smaller "The Celebrated" Wade and Butcher that is my best shaver, and a bigger 6/8 barber's notch "The Celebrated" on the way. Hope you enjoy yours!
