Thread: Wade & Butcher make date

Hi all.
Sorry for not being around as of late but been very busy.
I did have time though to look and buy a Wade & Butcher razor from Ebay yesterday.
The seller i think dont know much it seems when asked what scales they were so here i am again to ask for your help and knowledge.
I know that it's pre 1890 as no England stamped on tang but wondering when roughly they started using the "B arrow cross" on their razors.
I think the scales could be either Celluiod, tortoise or horn.
It has not arrived so i do not have pics to show apart from the ones the seller had on Ebay that i will try upload now.
Any advice on how to clean the scales also would be very welcome.
Thanks again,
best regards,
Gabe.
