    I'll join, if you'll have me. Here's my first straight razor. Anyone have any idea on model/age?




    These are the ebay pics, I picked it up for $20.50, which was about $5 more than I wanted to spend, but I still think I did OK.

    The horn scales have some bugbites, and the blade does have a bit of staining, but the honewear is negligible.

    Very nice indeed. I'd vote YES !

    I just bought two of those myself three days ago, one in nice condition one in rough condition. :P

    Default My Wade & Butcher

    After looking for some time, and bidding without success, I finally snagged a Wade & Butcher I could afford (I've blown too much lately).
    I took a flyer. The photos on ebay were not that good, but I ended up with a 15/16th barber notch quarter grind with black bone (I think) scales. Unique filigree engraving on the blade. I really don't think the blade has been honed previously. Scales had some scratches, a few minor shallow pits, mostly on the blade reverse. All I've done, and all I'm going to do, is polish with MAAS. Now I'm pretty much set. All that needs be done is hone her up.
