    Default 7/8 WADE & BUTCHER - shave ready

    (9)
    Manufactured 1818-1890. Back of blade hollow with Spanish point and single shoulder. Blade measures approximately 3 X 7/8. On shank "MANUFACTURED BY - WADE & BUTCHER - SHEFFIELD". Blade cleaned, polished and honed shave ready. Pitting here and there on blade does not affect edge. Very light etching of train on blade. Dark horn scales sanded, soaked in neetsfoot oil and polished with new brass pivot pin and original bullseye 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
    $50.00

    Nice razor. Very good price on entry level Wade&Butcher. 'Shave ready' is easily half the price. Good luck.

    I would like to buy this razor.
    What would be the price to ship to Australia?
    I've only just got back onto this forum (I thought it was defunct) so may not check back every day.
    Please PM me

    Hey guys. As far as I'm aware, USPS still has a suspension on mail to Australia. You can use other postal services but the cost can be crazy expensive. Leonard's last two batches of 'for sale' razors had some gems that I really wanted but had to pass due to the postal issue. Just a heads up
