    My Shave of the Day
    With my 6/8 Wade and Butcher heavy wedge razor... had to test out my edge on this and I have to say I have come along way! Butter smooth and killer sharp. I only had scrubble and I don’t usually shave when I’m like that because of irritation to my skin. I normally only do 1 pass with a test blade but I couldn’t resist. I was clean after the second but still went for the 3rd for fun. Great shave its amazing how awesome these butchers can be!

    My mind plays tricks on me when I look at it :). I think I see a “CIC” inside of a larger “C”. Or they could be G’s... and maybe the outside is just a design??? Interesting design though on a nice set of scales, minus the cracks.
