Wade & Butcher Special B, full hollow, 6/8s

I gave it a few hours of TLC as did the great guy who did the honing up in Maine. This razor delivered a great first shave. My $10 bucks was well spent.

If you are considering a minimalist collection of Swedish razors I'd recommend these three:

1. The shoulderless Swedish razor. Usually a 4/8. You won't believe the damage this small but lethal razor effortlessly makes to your stubble. Several manufacturers made this razor type. I guess I own most versions, but I always seem to come back to the Törnblom version. A rarity.

2. Any Heljestrand 5/8

3. A Heljestrand MK No.32

Then you're set to go without having to sell your soul to finance it.
