    cubancigar2000, here's a common old razor. I paid $49 for a cased pair of these off of ebay, honed them on lapping film and they shave great.

    Don't take my comment as anything but pure envy!! I have a few nice ones also and sometimes I pick up one of the cheapos and am blown away by the shave

    It's a sweety Kevin. When I found at a swap meet it I couldn't tell if it had ever been honed. It had a nasty twist in it's spine that required some finesse to straighten. It then honed up nicely and is truly a great shaver. Probably my best shaving W&B.

    I've never seen a Wade & Butcher quite like that. I really like it.

    i managed to sneak one more final SR shave in last night before this morning's surgery.
    Having just finished the restore on a little 2-inch Larkin, I honed it last night and put it to the test. A bit small for my big mitts, but the shave was very smooth.
    Quite a different experience than when shaving with the big Rodgers (shown below with the Lil' Larkin)…

    5/8 Garland Improved Eagle Half Hollow . This lil' razor suits me right down to the ground, from the classic plain black celluloid scales and white wedge to the patina on the old carbon steel blade. Consistently smooth shaves without any distracting bling-bling - that'll do me!
