Wade & Butcher Complete Sharpening - Bevel Set To JNAT Finish 

Respect and love from Greece

Haven't watched in a while. Love watching a master at work. ❤

Dr Matt, good to see you back at it. Amazing work on that classic razor. Thank you for your time and knowledge and sharing. Well done sir!

Oh Phuckin A! Right on time. Im working in 3 Wade choppers, and freshening up a Tillotson Sheffield tonight and a self haircut for fun. Thanks Dr Matt. Shout out to Frank Ronin. Thanks for the Wades, Landers Frary, and Clark, and great 12k Edges.

Big meaty early Sheffield, inconsistent grinds are a curse on early Sheffields . Your the master to assess it so well , thanks as always for the tips Matt , much appreciated 👌

Looking good Doc,hope all is well.

Hey DrMatt! So happy to be watching a new video from you. Thanks for the masterclass. Cheers

Awesome video! I can’t wait to try working on my W&B’s. Hopefully they come out as well as that one did 💈🪒🤙 P.S. Those jugs at the end are amazing too!

Hi Dr Matt, Would LOVE an IRL stone! Thank you for the recent recommendations over email! Thank you for consistently providing great information! And Thank you for the little slice of Americana you serve up in each of your videos with you being you! Looking forward to coming back home to the states for a bit to be around some ‘Mericans and things that go bang! Chris

Love your vids. And all the details. Just go ahead and ship that stone to me lol.

I would love the stone!! Thanks for the tutorial, I have been setting on a W.B. that need rehandled, and brought back to its former glory!!

I of course would like the stone, and I have noted that English razors tend to be somewhat soft

Great video as usual. Ive been a bladesmith (mostly chef knives) for 10 years or so and started making and honing straights in the past couple years and your videos have helped me greatly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Solingen product the best.

Great content. I don't know if I'm too late for the stone giveaway, but would love to try it!

Thank you for an instructive video.

Really excellent show. I appreciate reality t.v. more and more as my whiskers turn grey. Thanks man.

Great video

Masterclass.

Great, informative video. I own 3 vintage Wade & Butcher straight razors and, while they each generally provide a smooth comfortable shave, they can take a bit of extra care and effort to hone. The ILR stone would be a godsend. I have managed to amass a very nice vintage straight razor collection through careful eBay shopping. But, at my income level, I cannot justify the expense of a collection of quality whetstones. I have a set of small Arkansas stones (soft, hard and black); a very small con vexed cuticle I purchased from Jarrod, an Chinese natural stone from "Whippeddog" and an assortment of unbranded Chinese synthetics. I manage to keep a decent edge on all of my razors, but, a higher quality finishing stone would do wonders.

Love it, great work doc.

I am interested in getting an ILR. I have been wanting to try one for quite some time. So I would love to be put in for the give away. I make my own box for my stones, it is more of a personal touch that makes it my own. Love the bomb shells at the end. Cracked me up. :) Thanks for the videos and your time. Cheers.

Cool video seeing it from start to finish

Great video! Nice stone! Thanks Dr. Matt! Best!

Great vid

Nice job on that razor!!

I would love to try out an ILR I've been hearing a lot about them and they sound wonderful.

an ILR 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

I was just thinking that I needed to see a new video from you and there you were. I have a couple of razors I will be sending your way for your special touch. I got a Yuri razor that I need you to put an edge on. Talk to you soon.

Awesome video Dr. Matt! Love your honing.

Great vid Doc as always. Still living rent free in those dorks heads. That chick in the foto lost one of her straps, cut her a piece of fire hose to help out. ( exclude me from give away, previous winner )

That was excellent. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Love to see another video! I hope i'm not too late for the givaway. I was wondering if you ever tried using or sharpening a japanese kamisori razor?

I’d love to have that stone in this side of the Atlantic

thx for the razor work and videos Matt!

Glad to see you again. Thanks for the video. Confused by the girl, hehe

I love Wade and butcher razors, I have several like 12-14 of them about 6 are true wedges. I agree I love a Janat edge on them. Is your daughter still making the shave cloths? I didn't see you use one on this shave.

Would love to win that ILR stone. But?....I already bought it this year based on your recommendation Dr. Matt 😂 Ultra Fine! 👌 I think I like the Nakayama Ozuku Mizu Asagi better. 👌

Nice work & good tip about killing the edge before a doo over. Ps im new to sharpening and would like to try as many stones as possible. What are your favourite stones & grades?

Dr Matt , you are a maestro !! Are you using the Hanging Hair Test at the end of honing n stropping ??

Thanks Doc you a bad ass

Is it possible to get one side of the razor sharper than the other side? When I shave I feel one side of my face cuts better than the other side. Could that just be dominant hand vs non dominant hand shaving?

Dr. Matt, I've noticed on a few Wade and Butchers that they seem to lag in sharpness until about the 5k or 8k range. Then, they "catch up" and feel about like one would expect from any other razor. I don't know if this is just my technique, maybe I'm rushing that old Sheffield steel, or maybe it's something other people have noticed.

Dr.Matt, great videos. I currently have a Naniwa 5k & 8k super stone. Been trying to decide on a stone to finish on. Would the ILR be a good choice to use after those stones? What are your thoughts?

Excellent vid! Thanks. BTW what micron diamond/cbn spray do you recommend? Thanks 👍

You talked about the wade having a high spot on the bevel. If you have that on a razor with out a smile, how would you correct that?

Never seen the hand soap trick. Do you use that with any other type of stone, or just the Japanese stones?

What about the pressure on the different stones?

Excuse me, I would like to know a little bit. Is this JAMES JOHNSON DULCE CAST STEEL razor as good as WADE & BUTCHER?

Hello Sir! I just had to leave a comment to thank you for all the great instructional videos you have made. I got my first straight razor from an antique store earlier this month and a gold dollar that was supposed to come "shave ready" from razor emporium but had nicks in the blade visible to the naked eye(they did sort of make it up to me by sending me a ralf aust for 60 bucks and telling me to keep the Gold Dollar). After watching your videos i purchased three stones pre your recommendations a King delux 1k, Nortion two sided 4k and 8k, and a naniwa 12k. I followed all the steps you outlined, and I was able to get both razors shave ready and hanging hairs sharp. Both also passed the shave test with flying colors! Thanks again your the great instruction Dr Matt.

Ive seen those Type1 1950s striped fire hose linen strops in yours and Keith's videos. Where would be a a good place to look to procure one? Ill shoot Keith a message as well.

Hi Matt, are you still sharpening razors if sent to you?

Do you still hone razors for people ? If so, I need one honed, please

Dr. Matt!!! Hope you’re doing well. Have a great summer, friend!!

I would love to have seen a microscope shot of the final stropped edge. What matters, of course, is how it shaved. Great video!

Great video! I tried this on a Sheffield yesterday.

Nice to see a new video doc never get tired of a honing session. Maybe you should put a live cam in your shop 🤠 Interesting the ILR stone never hone on it. Also I'm looking to get an Ark but don't know which is best for finisher the surgical black or the translucent? Thanks
