Hey folks .. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a couple of Razors I picked up on Ebay . They are made by WADE WINGFIELD & ROWBOTHAM pics here > http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=6593651108 .
Is this the same Wade from Wade & Butcher -- Just curios to know if the razors are any good .... these are my practise razors of a sort .. I'm using them to practise my honing skills -- they're good little shavers considering I've honed them .. !!!!!!
I don't think they are related to Wade & Butcher. They look pretty nice though. The case is a nice addition. I will see if I can find out for sure.;)
Thanks RichZ .. The Lady I bought them from on Ebay couldn't give any nice little stories regarding there history as she found them in antique lot sale ..
WADE, WINGFIELD (WINFIELD) & ROWBOTHAM
Sheffield
ca. 1835 - 1852
It does not appear to be related to Wade & Butcher
Wowa .. is that the manufacturing dates , if so they're old - guess I should take even better care of them .. they're part of my little everyday shavers now ( almost up to 8 now ) :D thanks for your help
You can find most of the popular vintage razor manufacturers on the list hosted here. Some you may not find, but the list is pretty lengthy. I'd say take a look if you have a question. :shrug:
Fantastic .... this will be a valuable source of info - I've not had a good look at the site yet only a quick looksee -- i'm doomed if theres any pictures , I feel like im becoming a magpie of shiny razors ... i see it ! I want it !
