Manufactured 1818-1890. Back of blade hollow with Barber notch tip and single shoulder. Blade measures approximately 3 X 6/8. On shank only a few letters are visible. Just enough to identify it as "MANUFACTURED BY & WADE & BUTCHER" . Jimps top and bottom of shank. Blade cleaned, polished and honed shave ready. Very little hone wear. A few spots of very light pitting on both sides of blade does not affect edge. Pressed horn scales soaked in neetsfoot oil, sanded, and polished. Gold embossed "THE WASHINGTON RAZOR". New brass pins and washers.

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

Honing: One layer of electrical tape on spine. Bevel set on 600 grit diamond hone. Then 6000 water stone and finished on 12,000 oil stone, 20,000 Jasper. 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.
