    This is one of the first razors I bought on the 'bay. It's French made and came from Turkey. I think it took about 6 weeks to arrive. It's a nice shaving blade and provided a good shave this morning. Have a good one.

    Nice Sheffield made razor today. I had a smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS without touch-ups. This brand of razor, is always a joy to use, and usually excellent quality.

    Razor- Wade & Butcher. Sheffield.
    Brush- JR#262.
    Soap- Arko/Sandalwood scented
    Aftershave- Vintage Shulton Old Spice

    Cold Water Rinse
    Proraso Sandalwood
    Jayaruh #313
    Wilbert "Acme"
    CWR
    Pinaud Clubman

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Proraso Sandalwood Shaving Soap face lathered well with Jayaruh #313 mixed 70/30 badger/boar brush. I did two passes with the Wilbert "Acme" straight and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Big Guns: One of my favorite Greaves, this 9/8 FBU chopper is a handful, but has such a silky edge. MdC soap, custom Jayaruh brush & TSD milk splash to seal the deal. Nice morning shave. Have a blessed weekend, gents!

    A wonderful shave with one my absolute favorite razors. The only thing I’d change about this one would be to add a little smile. Consistently a top tier performer. :happy036:
