(1)
Manufactured 1818-1890. Back of blade hollow with square point and double shoulder. Blade measures approximately 3 X ⅞. Very faint on shank "MANUFACTURED BY - WADE & BUTCHER - SHEFFIELD". Blade cleaned, polished and honed shave ready. Still some pitting on blade and shank, but does not affect edge. Original hard rubber scales had a break on one side and pivot end tips missing. Break secured with super glue. Pivot end tips rebuilt with Podauk wood dust and super glue. New nickel silver pivot pin 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 20,000 Jasper. Then stroped 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.

Free USPS First Class shipping to U.S. only. Optional insurance $2.75 extra. If not insured seller is not responsible for damage during shipping.
Outside U.S. I pay first $4.00, buyer pays balance. Optional insurance varies by destination and will be calculated before payment.

Thank you.
