This old wade and butcher is my favorite shaver.
Im gona have some really nice looking scales made for this sometime in the near future.

I guess so, but I can not find SE blade around here, so I try to improvise. I snapped half the regular DE blade, and put strip of rubber (like from tire's tube) or mousepad under the blade to keep it in the position, it works. If you look closer to my last picture, you can see the rubber.

yeah i can see it, but what do you mean with "snapped half the regular blade"?

do you have to cut it in two maybe?

Sorry for my English, and yes that's what I mean.

danielp,

You can try ordering some blades from Ted Pella. Lots of guys with Eveready and GEM SE razors use these. Another option is ordering from Barbieria Italiana.

Here's a couple of my one and only (currently) custom straight razor. It is designed and made by Joe Chandler from Mike Blue damascus (1095/15N20). The scales are African blackwood with brass wedge, pins and washers. Width is 8/8 overall from top of spine to edge.

very very nice

Honestly, I prefer the Double arrow (reground by Kenrup) to the Dubl Duck, probably because the 4/8 Duck is too light.

I can't really compare to other straights, but compared to a Extreme3 they kick a**.

Stockman - Is yours (the Gillete) a WW2 Canadian military issue? I'm sure it was a common model, but it looks a lot like mine/Grandpas . Which reminds me I must find it and get some blades for it when I go back home. They have cool padded olive cases too.

Here's my second custom straight razor that I just got. 5160 steel with anodized Ti scales and Italian Paela wood overlays.

Both of your customs are really nice razors.

[xChris]

Nice looking blades! Wade & Butcher is one of my favorite razor manufacturers.

 

[cybrok]

"New" one to the family.

 

[Masteroffajitas]

What website, can I but a cheap but classy razor like one of these? Preferably one of the flip-out ones.

 

[Mike L.]

"Classy" and "cheap" do not go hand in hand.
And, they're called straight razors.
