That's the problem with soo many razors..........oh, forgot about this one. I should give it a try again. GREAT shave and tell self, you should use this more. Too many like that is a good problem to have I guess. Just a little cutting of the blade to fit over the square posts and then attention to align the blade straight when loading. Not as big a deal as it sounds. Have a great day Everyone !

Wow! A Wade & Butcher DE. Their straight razors are legendary (and pricey if in good condition), but a Wade & Butcher DE is news to me. - Thx Dave.

Thanks Mike, rarer to find them with the case and a new blade. Their blades are hard, fixed curve blades. Last pic shows the square posts. Take care !

Very interesting Dave in KY, particularly the square posts. I wonder if this razor hails from the days of carbon steel Gillette blades, and if the square shape was meant to generate sales of W&B DE blades?

Just a Phenomenal shave with the Ethos Dragonsbeard trifecta, Brush and the Vector Ti. This is "THE" razor for me if I had just only 1. I after borrowing a Ti wanted to get one, BAD and I'm VERY happy with this no longer available Polished by Blackland Ti Vector Set. I will say that after shaving with both within days of each other, the Polished is a tad more aggressive......not by much but enough to notice and I can only assume due to the polish ( or the blade used ) which looks GREAT and CRISPLY done. I LOVE this razor and thank Calm_Shaver for the deal on it. Oh and by the way, did you notice it took a Schick Proline blade. First out of a 30 pack that I got 2 of some time ago. Is it before the Prolines had a slight adjustment to there dies or was it the polish ? I have no idea and will be a long time before I go thru these 60 blades to find out but that was a happy surprise too. Have a great day everyone !

That's great news regarding the Prolines. The pack I had did not work weii. I am very happy for you!

I'll see Eric's happy-for-Dave and raise another happy-for-Dave.  That kit is outstanding even as outstanding goes, and the razor/polish/P-30 is rare and at least bordering on unobtainium.
