I had Joe Edson restore my Wade & Butcher that had belonged to my great grandfather, I received it back from Joe today and couldn't wait to try it, one word FANTASTIC. Joe did a great job bringing it back to life and now I understand what a straight razor shave should feel like.
My wife gave me a Boker king cutter for Christmas and I'm a newbie, but the Boker doesn't compare to the shave I just got with the W&B. Could the Boker need honed? She got it from West Coast Shaving or is there that much of a difference in the style and shape of the blades? I'll get a pic up later of the before and after.
Kudos to Joe for the restore. While I was using it, I couldn't help but think of my great grandfather and grandfather using it on a Saturday morning before they went to the company store after a long week in the coal mines.
