Today I found out that my wade and butcher is magnetized. Is this common in most wade and butchers or do I just have the oddball out of the bunch?

No it is not unheard of . Many of us who restore blades use a magnetic jig to hold the blade while sanding and polishing . My blades often become magnetic while being in contact with the rare earth magnet in the jig. If you think it has become a issue get a hand tool magnetizer/demagnetizer at your local Lowes.

Wow...They actually have such a tool?
I have the same problem with a boker.
Where has this been all my life
Found some on the bay......
Super cheap!
Weren't there some old razors advertised as magnetic? A gimmick maybe? Not sure if it was just a name or if they were actually magnetized.
They actually were magnetized.
I have an old razor sold as magnetic steel :)
Some of the old ads would say that the razor would attract the hair and make for a smoother shave. Maybe if someone was working in an iron mine and their body absorbed vast amounts of iron without dying it might attract the hairs I guess. With all of the companies making and selling razors back then they had to come up with something to sell their product.
