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.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

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.Last edited by DoughBoy68; 03-05-2014 at 02:45 AM.

I like that design. Reminds me of an arrow. Looks good.
