VINTAGE WADE & BUTCHER FOR BARBERS USE STRAIGHT RAZOR - eBay (item 200442711552 end time Mar-01-10 14:54:17 PST)

Im hoping these bidders have read the entire add description and not just going for the name of the razor, unless of course the folks feel they can work some magic and fix the crack..

Hmm, the people bidding on it do not have very many transactions (20-30 or so). This does not look good, campers.

I was thinking that maybe because the blade is already so wide, an experienced restorer might look at the crack and figure out that he can remove it and still end up with a 15/16 or 7/8 width. But all of the experienced buyers dropped out after the razor went over $30 or so.

You must have good eyes. I don't see any crack. Its over in 5 minutes though.

Well 190.00 took it...

somebody is bringing out the welding equipment..

"Hello I'm George . . .

I just bought a fabulous razor off Ebay, but can anyone tell me why it keeps ripping parts of my face off?"

I can't tell if it's a crack or a scratch . One thing for sure , the scales are cracked . $190 ?

I think that if it looks like it was in the movie "Sweeney Todd" people will break there banks to own it. Just a theory??????

You can see the crack in the 4th and 5th pic if you blow it up, its about 1/8 inch long, I'd guess. With a thick blade like that the winners in for alot of work, or a really big restorer bill.
