more likely to find an "r wade & son" razor.......... hehehehe, also didnt exist but the wade from wade & butcher was robert who had a son named robert. the sr died in 1825, son joined the w&b biz some years later. robert wade made razors also, the ones weve seen simply marked "r wade" come to mind. less known of this guy than the well documented w&b history, thatd be real cool to find an " r wade & son." prob are none but more likely to exist than W&B&SONS! thatd be a hunt id be interested in!

ive seen a few wade only and never owned one perhaps someday.......

anyone ever come across a razor marked "w. butcher" ?????? aside from razors i collect tools and have a couple cast steel chisels maked "w. butcher" with the typical b arrow cross logo but ive never seen a razor marked as such.
