Thread: a few wade & butchers worth going for....

here are a few im watching, hoping they go to good homes if i cant get funds in time to purchase them/bid on them myself

8 8 Wade and Butcher FBU | eBay

Antique Wade Butcher Sheffield Straight Razor Wedge Horn Scales | eBay

Straight Razor Vintage Wade Butcher The Washington "Philadelphia Works" NOS | eBay

Antique Wade Butcher Straight Razor 7 8" Bovine Horn Scales | eBay

this last one here has one of my favorite blade shapes, used to be my preferred blade style to shave with on a daily basis.

which would you prefer and why?

They all look good but since I don't have a 8/8 I would like that one just for the size.

its a nice blade! i was talking with the seller a little about it earlier, looks to be in great shape as is and seller says its shave ready. I'm likely to miss the end of the auction, not likely ill be able to snag this gem!

I am on a hiatus from buying right now. Unless something very unique or very old and of course very inexpensive cm along, I'm out. I have a disgusting list of project razors that re not finished and some that are not even started, not to mention another pile that I really should sell. I will leave you guys to it, but I will be watching.

hahaha, I like how you put it! Sadly when I recently had more buying power all the ones on my watchlist either went waaaaaay over my expectations in terms of price, or i outright missed the end of the auction and in those cases the razors sold for less than half what my max would have been, or I did catch the end of the auction and I lost by one bid increment on each of those now Im hoping I can pad the wallet a bit before ALL my watchlist ends haha!

I have one just like the last but it is in the resto queue behind more compelling stuff. Eventually... That is a very nice deal to bite on if someone is wanting a butcher/wedge..

Yeah, I like the last one too, but when the shipping cost pushes up the purchase price by 50%....
That's the problem living down here....nothing's cheap to import.
