Thanked: 66worthy of a 1st str8 razor?
I was emailed this by a site seller..$75 for it to be honed and shipped free...item details..(made about 1840) Wade & Butcher with "Silver Combined with Silver Steel". Silver steel was invented in the 1820s. This one has a buffalo horn handle. The shape of the tang is very rare and it has hand filed gimps on the bottom of the shank. It also comes with an old box.
what I find weird is its pretty cheap and if you look 2 the blade it says India steel...looks like a thicker blade than latter ones...any thoughts/suggestions always appreciated!
