A cursory search through US and British newspapers turns up nothing on Wade Razor Company, so my guess is that it was made in Solingen before WWI for an American hardware or dry goods store. Even major US cutlery producers bought falsely marked up German goods to sell for a profit. It happened mostly because Solingen had (for the time) extraordinarily advanced manufacturing capability and the German work-system had most workers doing their production from workshops in their homes, which meant it was very easy to find someone who would and could make a few dozen items marked with whatever sounded profitable.
It is, most likely, an excellent razor to shave with. Solingen razors from the time are very good.-Zak Jarvis. Writer. Artist. Bon vivant.
