yes, sometimes sellers dont understand just how much we scrutinize blades to know the real condition! ive been messaging the seller back and forth, just to help educate them.

Looks like it met a dremel in a back alley and the dremel won.
It's a dog eat dog world and I have on milk bone underwear.

You know it really didn't look so bad. I don't know what it sold for but with a little buffing and polishing and a good honing it probably will turn out pretty good. I have won similar razors of the bay and they did turn out rather good. and after a good honing they shaved quite well. some times bad photos end up a good buy.

If memory serves me correctly, our beloved Wade and Butcher razor company was called Butcher and Son(s) and then became Wade and Butcher after the importer Wade signed an agreement to import them to New York or America in general; I'm not sure which.
