Thanked: 101From what I have read Wade & Butcher became a division of Durham - Duplex in 1921 & I don't know when any of the Butcher or Wade families had anything to do with the company.
It would be cool if he used some of the classic designs from W&B in his razors. I would love to have a new W&B near wedge between 6/8" to 1" or the early 7/8" Hollow Ground with a 1/4" wide spine that is my second favorite W&B. I really wish him luck! I hope the blades are forged as that process really helps the steelBut it's his company & they can do as they like.

Thanked: 18Its like a piece of glass. I have used it only once, but I haven't the skills to know that it makes a difference. I have some antique stones I bought that are the same, but the antique ones are almost shine enough to see yourself. I still don't see much difference. Now the 50,000 I can't guarantee as I have looked at the box it came in and there are no mentions of grit, only the site I bought it from, and that could have even been a misprint on the site. I know you think its funny, but I have been subjected to several rip off's over time. Each time you discover you have been screwed, what do you do?
