Wade and Butcher razor to benefit Movember

A nice ivory-scaled 6/8 Wade and Butcher 'Thursday' razor from a 7 day set to Benefit Movember.

Back-story....A long while back, a seller broke-up a nice 7-day set and sold them individually on the bay.
typically, some had cracked scales, some a bit of rust. I managed to win 3 of them, 2 with cracked scales and this one, perfect.
I made a pair of the other 2, and wound-up selling this one to our good friend Harold.

I told Harold to not sell it because this top and bottom jimped blade style will come only from a 7 day set....Unusual!

So fast-forward to the present, Harold is shaving more and more with DE's and felt neglectful of his straights.
Remembering what I had told him, he sent the razor back to me!

I still have the pair, did not really need it, and felt sort of bad about it, although Harold is a very generous man.
I contacted him last evening and suggested listing it here for Movember and he agreed heartily.

So here is Harold's razor. Really nice. Classy!

It will run through 11/30 and end at 12:00 midnight. Free ship on me and all monies go to Movember!
Harold and I thank you for your bids!

Thanks for your donation gentlemen. I'll start this at $50

Incredible razor - $125!

Let's get the bidding up there for a good cause, $150.

Oh we have just begun, Harold! :tu

That is a beauty! Over my funds, but thank you Harold for your donation!
Definitely a classy one.
:beer1:

Let's bid, Gents! It's for Movember.......AND it's NICE! :tu

She is a beauty! $175!

I only let it go because Tom told me I could only use it on Thursdays :shrug:

It’ll make those whiskers on your neck and under your chin disappear magically, everyday of the week!

One of you needs a perfect razor!

So I did not mention it is really 'longish' . Something again only seen in sets. A long tang. Top and bottom jimps.
With it's brethren...

Hahaha, as soon as I pushed send I saw the dimensions LOL. Sorry about that, not awake yet evidently still recovering from yesterday....

Matt...

The end of these Movember auctions is drawing near, Gents.....
Some nice things to benefit Men's Health.

We're at $175 Gents, this is an amazing razor and well worth more bids!!!!
Not too many out there with Ivory scales anymore

4 days to go here

It's a beauty. Just have tightened the pivot a bit, stropped it good for the new owner!

Tom is speaking the truth! It is a marvelous shaver and work of art....pure class.

$200 I missed out on the other one............

Someone would be smart to try to steal this one from you too, just sayin' :w:w:w

Have you watched my past bidding Harold? :roflmao

Mom was from Sheffield. Worked at Wade and Butcher pinning scales as a young girl. More than likely assembled 'Thursday' (rumored to have such a deft touch they only had her pin the collarless ivory).
$210.00!

That sort of thing is likely true!
Thanks for the bid, Paul! :tu

Happy that Paul will be the new conservator of this fine piece. Thanks to all! :)

Excited!
Thank you Harold and Tom!
I can not wait to pair her with Shaun's brush. Shave of the Day fodder for sure.
Good stuff.
