W&B FBU today.



Some nice SR scores at a local swap meet as well this weekend. A few for PIF's and one keeper. I've got some work to do before it's ready for prime time, but I thank Jamie for the gorgeous honey horn blanks he sent me it's the perfect project straight for them!

 

A little polish and maybe buff out the chip, Mike, and you'll be good to go! The honey horn will compliment the 'earthy' organic tones….

 

My first shave with this newly-honed wedge from Marshes & Shepherd. Scary-sharp and heavy!

Frederick's Celebrated

 

That chip'll buff right out. I'm equally impressed by the fact that the scales appear to be fabricated from some type of nitric acid oozing synthetic floor covering.

Your Marshes & Shepherd is a pretty sexy hunk o' steel, and the scales are fantastic as well! M&S is a truly excellent old Sheffield marque.

I've been very impressed with the two recent M&Ss I've had the pleasure of putting back into circulation. Both are wedges but distinctly different razors.

You sure do have some nice looking wedges. I prefer a wedge myself. I tried a full hollow Hibbard Spencer and Bartlett Co.razor and didn't like it. It was to light and didn't really feel like I had anything in my paws. A wedge with a little heft to it feels great and I love the way a wedge shaves. Just my humble opinion.

Ken, you & I are in completely in sync with our appreciation of wedges!
I realized all of my current wedges are old Sheffields: Wostenholm, Wade & Butcher, Marshes & Shepherd & Greaves

 

Kevin nice lineup. I only have 2 wedges at this time. The first one I got was a J A Henckels of Solingen Germany. The new one I just purchased from @gssixgun is a Rodgers from Sheffield England. I love both of them. I've only been using a straight for about six months now but I think wedges are the way to go for me. Once I get really good with straight I will probably buy more.
