Here is a couple. They shave fairly well, they are fairly nice razors. I have 3 or 4 others that I can't find pics of. I went through a W&B buying spree a while ago, now I wonder why I thought I needed so many
Wow, I think I luv how hefty they are
Not all were that hefty.

I'll say this though, man is mine not only forgiving, it's smooth!
My Last one,off to the bay this week:(
Attachment 171993
I know I won't stop looking till I score a good one, I would luv to find one with clear heavy thick engraving/stamps across the blade. 7/8
Check this out

I meant to show the Butcher shop or block or something like that. Doing this on my phone is a pain.
Attachment 172000here is my 8/8 wade,one with black handles. the big one is a stenton. I didn't have a pic of just the wade.
These blades are my favorite, and I collect and use these beautiful blades. All in great condition and stored in a dry area in razor socks. Here are my two favorites, have a few more tucked away! :)

Phrank is this hinderer investigator and Martin clicker?
My Great Great Grandfather's W&B he brought to the United States aboard a ship from Liverpool in 1858.
God these are some great looking razors. .. Thanks for sharing. ...
Wullie do I dare to ask are any of em for sale, specially the 1st one.
Phrank the pens you are using to prop your razors
Yup, let me know if you want to get some I'll help u get some
Found another one.

I suspect this one is a W&B even though it has H&J W KING on the tang.

Sergeant, are you just looking for a W&B in general or do you have a particular size in mind. The reason I ask is that I have a few lying around and might even be talked out of one or two.
Guitstik, I think I like the wide ones with stamp on the blade, like the "celebrated hollow"one.
Bill that is a sweet WB but with those Palmeras I can see why you don't need it ,, man those are hard to find in the wild, hope you let us know if they go on the bay,,, as for Phrank he has the finest of the W@B,s, he hurts me every time he shows them (but don't stop I love em) great pictures guys tc
I like the Wade & Butcher razors simply because there's such a wide variety of them and they seem to shave well. Here's some of mine...

Does this bad boy belong to anyone in here?
Now I know how you caught the fever ..... it was handed down in the genes ..... Great to have a razor from your ancestors, but double great for it to be a W&B from way back. :rock:
Huh ? It is plain as the nose on your face ........ :rofl2:
Just kidding BTW ...... I don't 'get it' either ...... :thinking:
A few more to add to the growing gallery :)

Great collecting everyone, let me know if anyone willing to part with one .
Here's another.

It's a re-grind. Hell of a shaver too.
They keep turning up in the pile.
How about one with phony chop marks on the blade?

That's a nice Chinese Razor Wullie! Here's another two, both awesome shavers:
Here's a stunning W&B "Magnum Bonum", courtesy of Robert (rbaker) from the SRP Classifieds, boy does he know how to put an edge on a blade!

Got this one from Montreal, just something being sold from an estate, near mint condition, shoulderless blade, 7/8 Celebrated:
http://straightrazorpalace.com/membe...emans-den.jpeg
I only have one, a 5/8 Celebrated, but long for more.....
Here are a few of my herd. The bottom one has the same phony kanji on the front of the blade as the one Wullie posted. As you can see, I prefer original scales whenever possible and I don't shine 'em up like a new dime. :D
