Thread: Wade & Butcher

I thought you guys might find this one kind of interesting, I've looked around quite a bit and haven't seen another W & B with a spine quite like this, sort of different, it's out of my collection.

Interesting! Nice looking razor.

I've never seen one like that either. Very cool!
Like all Wades, I bet it's a beautiful shaver.
How is it to strop? Looks like it could really scratch up a strop if you aren't careful.
I'd be taping that if it were me.

Hi Pete, out of curiosity I checked it for anything rough or sharp and it's real smooth, no problem on one of my strops either after a test run. I've never used this one, I don't think it would take much work to get this one shave ready. A little bit of interesting history on this one, it originally came out of the estate of a WW1 veteran who served as a Sargent in the U.S. 1st army, artillery, the razor was packed in his military memorabilia (a nice lot too) and was separated and sold separately, I'm sure there's a story behind it.

That's awesome to know the actual history of the razor. It's a great story. I would be chomping at the bit to shave with it. My guess is you'll love it. Let us know.
Good luck and congratulations!

I'll definitely get back and let you know how it shaves as soon as I get caught up on my other razor projects, but I'll get there eventually. Glad you enjoyed the little bit of history on this one Pete. I usually note the blade width on my razors, forgot on this one, it's a 6/8.
