Thread: Looking for a razor....

Hey guys...not sure how people find these razors as i never see stuff like this on the bay...need ideas as id like to find this one or like razors.

Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but I got back 259 results searching for "Wade & Butcher razor" on eBay. If you are looking for a razor exactly like your picture, however, that may take a while (just like with fishing).

Mark i have a couple very nice Wade & Butchers but trying to find ones like in the picture are scarcer then hens teeth as i suspect even back then something like that was special order and only by the very elite of society at the time.

The laws of supply and demand also apply to razors unfortunately. I can relate to your issue in that I am a fan of Filarmonica, and the Especial Para Barbas Duras (EPBD) is much like your W&B pictured. Scarcer than hen's teeth, or if you find one NOS, they want $650-750 for one. These vintage blades are antiques, and as such are rare AND expensive. Chaps my hide when guys like Glen remind us that prior to 2009 and eBay inflation, these blades could be had for so much less coin. <sigh>

With that said, good luck in your search and keep fattening your wallet while you are at it.
