Thread: Just another Wade and Butcher

Just finished tonight. A Wade and Butcher Celebrated For Barber's Use. Measures in at a full 9/8; the blade is original (condition is decent, but not as good as I like), but I made the scales, wedge and collars. This is the third of these darn things I've owned. I think I might actually keep this one.













Next to a 7/8 Joseph Elliot:

That's a great looking straight. Thanks for posting. If you do decide to part ways with it make sure to shoot me a pm for sure....

Lovely restoration job Sir !! Those collars look darn nice.

Very nice! If you decide NOT to keep it, feel free to send my way

Nice razor. It dwarfs the Elliot.

I have an 8/8 I am trying to keep. They shave great and all but they don't say "for barbers use" on them for nothing. :<0) I am too used to the hollows I guess.

That is a very nice job ! Great razor to keep for sure..

I'm going to rethink hone wear on W&B's after seeing that face view. they all look like they've been honed every day for 20 years, but there is a lot of meat on that bone still.

nice find.

It is a really beautifull blade. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice work on this razor, very authentic looking, great job!

Thanks! That's what I was going for. I even rough sanded the area that contacts the wedge and left some marks exposed to try to match the real ones I've seen.

edit: now I just need to try the method of stamping the brass collars into the lead sheet
