I do like pairs. I have no idea why but a matched or even very close to matched pair is styling. I have a few and think everyone should have a pair or two in their collection.
I have a pair, not Wade & Butchers but a matching pair of Joseph Rodgers & Sons 5/8 French point in Ivory w/lead wedge, top & bottom jimps, both are very smooth shavers.
BTW, very nice pair of Wade & Butchers.
I feel Honored to be the recipient of such greatness. Can't wait to see and experience the finished product. Thanks a million Dennis:beer1:
Just finished preping the slabs of katalox...started with 1/4" slabs so had to sand em to 1/8".
Design work and template for scales...along the lines of the W&B Logo...shall see if my carving skills are OK....should be fun… feedback please~
I like that design. Reminds me of an arrow. Looks good.
Very nice Dennis! Nice of you to do that.
DoughBoy68 - I have a pair of 5/8 Joseph Rodgers Ivory scales as well...posted my pair in the Gentleman's Set sub-thread...would be interesting to compare, I would like to see your set of Rodgers.
Will be watching the restore Dennis....
Ive got a pair of rodgers at home as well, one is scaled in ivory the other has been replaced though and comes in a double box
