Thread: 6/8 Wade & Butcher "The celebrated old army razor 1776"

Manufactured mid 1800’s. This razor is 160 +/- years old. Just test shaved 2 day growth and it was incredible. Back of blade straight with square point and no shoulder. Blade measures approximately 3 ⅛ x 6/8. On blade 50% visible “THE CELEBRATED - OLD ARMY RAZOR - 1776”. On shank “MANUFACTURED BY - WADE & BUTCHER - SHEFFIELD”. Blade is a wedge grind. Blade cleaned, polished and honed shave ready. Still pitting on blade. For a razor of it's age it gives it character IMO. Custom hand carved Mahogany scales with horn spacer. Scales treated with Danish oil. New brass pins and washers.


Light coat of oil for protection on blade. Please look at photos as they are best description.

Honing: Three layers of electrical tape on spine. Bevel set on 600 grit diamond hone. Then 6000 water stone and finished on 12,000 oil stone, then glass plate. Then stropped on canvas with diamond paste and then leather and disinfected. A $18.00 VALUE FREE

I personally test shave each razor before final disinfection. Shave ready is different to each person. Factors like light or coarse beard or beard length come into play. I have a heavy beard and test shave every razor on a two day growth. If razor gives a close comfortable shave I call it shave ready. If it does not shave right I re-hone the razor.

Payment due in three days.
