Precisely.

If you are talking about the Cursed Wade and Butcher, it should be Cursed Haunted Civil War Straight Razor Wade and Butcher Emphasis on Butcher | eBay

As for the OP of this thread, I offer this thread here on the forum...

I think you have to hone a haunted straight razor with holy water to break the curse.

You may use some fairy dust to raise a slurry but I am not convinced that will work.

Thanks for the responses all. Yes, I realize that the men who used old, vintage razors are dead now, and that doesn't bother me at all. However, I wouldn't want to shave with a razor that was used to shave corpses in a funeral home. Perhaps I'm overly sensitive, but I'm just not interested in doing that. I saw the reference in an older post on this forum, which is what prompted my question. I'll look and see if I can find the reference again. Thanks.
