Thread: Wade & Butcher - Sheffield - Gentleman's Razor ~ Pauacrylic

Nice job on the restoration.

I have the exact same razor. It was the first one I ever bought. Well, technically the second, since my first was in the mail to me at the time, but it was first to be in my care. I got it at an antique store for twenty bucks.

That one seems to have had a good portion of its edge honed or ground away, since it looks a lot more flat than mine, which kind of has a slight bow to it. Really nice blade. The jimps, the tented spine, the barber's notch... they're not too common among your average W&B's. I've seen plenty of other variations on the "Gentleman's Razor," but never anything like my own, so I wasn't expecting it to look anything like mine when I clicked this thread. I was surprised.

It's about time you took some before shots and posted them! I'm sure some norwegian is going to be very happy he has something beautiful to carefully snuggle up with on cold nights.
