Thread: Restored Vintage Straight Razor Wade & Butcher 9/8. Celebrated Barbers Use. Rare

Hooray!! and Hooray again!!!

I usually stay away from fear of controversies, but I'd like to chime in o this one, and to thank everybody who appreciates the hard work that goes into my razors.
Phrank, Harrywally and everybody else, HUGE THANKS to all of you guys.
This razor is a beast, and was an absolute bliss to shave with and a true gem in my collection. It is my absolute favorite razor of all times, and I would not even sell it, if I didn't have the challenges that I am currently facing, in my personal life.

Phrank, enjoy this baby, and treat her right. It is a true piece of history and a legendary piece. With its quarter inch stock, it is as heavy as it gets for a hollow ground blade. The steel is as hard as they come. I should know, as I've honed enough of them.

Yes, youncould buy a bunch of production razors for the price of such a piece, or even a Mastri Livi, a BB custom, a Jenes or even a MS custom, but this is a unique piece, and has served its time and deserves its place in the history of wetshaving.
I take much pride and put much effort behind my work, and it is nearly eye-tearing to hear that one can indulge on the final product.

Again, thanks to everyone who has been there to support me, and appreciated my work.
You guys are the reason for me going at it, improving, and constantly trying my best.

Cheers!

Thanks again TheGentlmansDen - if for whatever reason I have to get rid of this razor, I promise I'll send it to Razorfeld.

You honor me and I am humbled.

But on a lighter note. You know I'd give my left you know what for it - since at my age I don't get much use out of it anymore.

Is a beautifull Razor without Question and I will Gaurantee they are awesome shavers.
