Thread: wade & butcher resale value!!! And funny story

You can still find them in Antique stores and Flea Markets for a lot less, because fewer people are willing to go look. Razors, not beach front Real Estate…

Large Sheffield razors are currently in demand.

my 3-5 year plan is to be fordging out some razors, I wonder if fordging a wade and butcher inspired piece would be a smart move... Assuming that the craze for these razors continue

I sold one a while back, I expected 300$. Went for over 500! Happy day. Then I bought a 400$ nakayama so it's one addiction feeding another lol.

I did, but recently wiped my phone due to having several hundred pics of just razors. It was "just" a nice condition 9/8 the celebrated for barbers use. I've owned several, and always end up selling them just because they always make me several hundred dollars in profit. I am working on a shorty, and can take pics of that. I just got done finishing my first custom razor, from bruno, and I could have 2 of those for what my butcher sold for. If you want a good piece of advice, constantly check ebay for newly listed razors. Just last month a guy got one just like mine ($500+) for 35$ buy it now. Just have to be the first one to see it haha.





9/8+

I was wondering some time ago why there wasn't any makers doing this. Then I started seeing some razors by Silverloaf on ebay that looked like large Sheffields. I haven't read the entire thread, so sorry if someone already mentioned this.

You wouldn't be the first to make w and b inspired razors, I think you would need to be making quite a few to recoup the costs of learning to make them though.
