    Default Wade & Butcher razors

    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.

    It does not appear to be related to Wade & Butcher

    Cool Straight Razor Manufacturers

    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.
