Wow, $405. Looks like it's time to sell my other Celebrated FBU, with scales. Also loved this part: "I believe this razor to be the ultra rare Wade & Butcher 1 1/16 (look at the site vintage straight razor), but it's quite possible it is an 9/8 that got a bit shorter due to honing." So I guess I can sell my 15/16 as a 10/8, because maybe it was that big when it was made.
This is the site he was referencing: Vintage Straight Razor | Wade & Butcher | VintageStraightRazor.com
How any razors have sold at those prices is beyond me. I also don't know if it's intentional, but photography like this (Vintage Straight Razor | Wade & Butcher For Barbers Use Original Restored Straight Razor | VintageStraightRazor.com) makes the blade look a LOT wider than it actually is.

It seems so here. Some other times it seems like people can't figure out how to use a zoom feature and get all kinds of funky angles with their razors. One of my (least) favorite is the one where they lay some razors flat and then take the camera down to the table level so you get a weird distance shot.
