    What are you talking about ?? No pic it ain't real. I always wondered about this fantasy razor they call mustache. I hear leprechauns used them.
    Of course you should be very careful with it. It may disappear if you don't keep an eye on it. Then again it could be cursed.

    By the way , it should be called the mustache terminator. I never have figured that 1 out.

    Expect more straight forward replies like this until a picture is produced. :<0)

    Someone may come along and save you with a drawing of this allusive creature. Just don't fall for the first 1 that comes along. 1 of our members also has a pic of Big Foot.

    that thar be al alcocks, seems i remember he collects a lot of these "mustache razors" but this wade & butcher model i believe is the only razor actually marked as such. i may be very wrong on that count however.

    I know no pic suck. Unfortunately I can't seem to post pics from my tablet to this site. Yes that is the very razor I got today a little dirty with small nic in the blade. Got it and a celebrated hollow ground barbers notch at the flea market.

    Ok. So after looking a lot online. I don't find any pics or info but the ones above. I am guessing either they didn't make many of these mustache razors or they didn't last. The scales are in great shape and the blade just needs cleaned other than getting that nic out.

    The big one has great blade, but the scales are done. Cracked at pivot on one side and bit up bad on the other.

    I don't need more projects, but couldn't pass on these two for as cheap as they were. I don't do scales so the big one I can clean up and hone the blade, but not sure where I would get scales that large.
    I can work with the little one though.
    I guess I am wondering if it is worth cleaning up, fixing and using it, or if it is better left as is and passed on to a collector? I just don't see them, and don't want to mess it up if it is better left as is.
