George Butler ( keen ) razor.

I recently picked this up off E-bay for 40 dollars and free shipping on a bid, it's a 13/16 with a lot of heft, as far as I can tell I don't believe it was ever used ( really mint ). Sorry about the pictures ahead of time, I'd like to try and add a better picture later.

I'd definitely like clearer pics.
Sweet find though.

Very nice buy. Excellent condition.

I hope these are a little better, the one picture looks like some flaws on the surface at the tip but its just a picture glare or haze. Really shiny blade without a flaw in it anywhere, no pin corrosion either.

I have a Butler Art, and it is in my top 4, so far :D

$40 That's near enough free... I want it :deal:

Ha...ha....I bid on this one in the late afternoon and walked away not thinking I had a chance of getting it, then I found it later in my bay surprised. I was even more surprised when it arrived it's a fairly large razor, I would have expected this one to go way higher than that.

Its gorgeous! WOW [emoji7] [emoji7]
I'll give ya $80. for it [emoji53]
Just kidding, enjoy it, and post it in SOTD after you shave with it. [emoji6]

Those 20th Century Sheffield roundpoints are a well-kept secret. They shave the Dickens, IMO.

Ahh Hah, Sharptonn let the scrat out of the bag. :D

The Brits decided to go 'modern' in those days and grind thinner to compete with the Germans.
We (and the Germans!) know the steel was good. Kropps, Taylors and Begalls, Oh MY! :rofl2:

Yes, the George Butler hollow ground I have was a great shaver. Had to retire it when I found a crack in the blade. Yours should be an excellent shaver, congrats and enjoy that fine condition razor.

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that, I actually tried to get one of these a few years back but there was a lot of bidding on it, went pretty high so I walked away. It was nice but I'm sure it didn't match this one.

Oh, you bet, when I get around to use this one I'll definitely post it in the SOTD. Thanks for all the replies guy's.

Beautiful and cheap ....... you're lucky guy! :beer1:

Thanks DOK, yeah it was one of my very few golden win's from E-bay over the year's at a cheap price, I've already had that beer but you know what, I think I'll have another one here in a little while.

I have one in nearly as nice shape and after a proper honing by a good friend it shaves quite well. Enjoy it!
