Vintage Wade & Butcher (Serrated blade?)
Here's a Vintage Wade & Butcher for sale on ebay, and the seller will even "leave the cleaning to the experts"!
You would thing the seller would have the decency to just throw the thing in the trash...

As if anyone looked at it and thought, "I would buy it, but I'm not sure if it will smell like smoke..."No pets and my home is smoke free.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

Well, I guess the seller is smarter than I, as someone actually bought this razor. They paid $3.99 for the razor and $5.99 for shipping. More proof that P.T. Barnum was right. Maybe they just bought it in the hope that they could save the scales?

That will still leave it over 6/8 and that should be fine on a full hollow because it will simply convert it to more of a wedge shape.
I guess I'll have to take pictures along the way on restoring this one!
Anyone want to make a wager as to whether or not I'm a sucker? Um, I mean whether or not I can make it a shaver?
