Thread: The Butcher Shop

Sandcountry: I'd just gotten the email that that razor had been relisted, and as soon as I clicked the link to take a look she was gone. Glad a member snagged her. Beautiful blade.

I'm very fast. Sometimes I pay dearly for it.

Yeah, it's a bit rough, but I just got it recently. I'll probably keep it around until I start experimenting with re-etching blades. I would be nice to do a full restore and replace the frosted etch:




Chris L

thats a nice find

I was just wondering if anyone has seen one of these before?



From the end, the mail part of the razor looks like a wedge, but if you look, the spine is /much/ wider than the blade it's self.

I was just wondering if anyone else has come across this before in a Butcher?

You can see the spine (maybe better) in this one...



What do you think?

I've got a concave ground Wade & Butcher that has "Celebrated Rattler" etched onto the blade. I'd put up pics, but she needs a lot of work so she's rather shy now.

I Just bought my first straight, one of these two i just got at auction is a wade and butcher.So i guess im part of the Butcher Shop. Once i get it i will conduct a restoration on her and keep you informed on the new W&B.

Welcome aboard!!! We're always happy to see new members at SRP!

Sunny day here, in the long winter. Hi to everybody!

As you can see, I am new to the forum. I have been exploring this nice club and some "love" for W&B grew in me.. a sort of big respect for those capital letters.. I do not know exactly. During the last days I have been looking for something special for me and now I have some W&B in the mail, flying and fliyng and fllying, a long travel to the sunny Italy. I found a lot of pics in the club: a big help for my choice and evaluation of old blades. Thanks!

..now I feel like a small child, waiting for his toys and with many ideas.. ideas all regarding you, venerated members of the club..

Indiscreet idea #1: why don't you prepare (YOU! yes! eheh!) a nice wiki page about W&B? or does it exist? ..a page with a general table regarding the shapes of blades, material of "orignal" scales, pins, resources about honing a W&B, etc..

Indiscreet idea #2: why don't prepare an introduction to the club? a short welcome and "how to" become a member. [I would like to join the club; I wait the delivery of my new friends..]. And yes, a small logo or [useless but honored] printable certificate/card for members only!

Now I think it is time for me to . I will come back with my membership petition and some pics.. thank you!

We used to have some W&B T-Shirts floating around. I don't know if they are still available or not.
