    Default HELP: Age of Wade & Butcher Razor

    I was recently given this razor by my grandfather and am looking for some help with identifying the age of this razor. Can anyone tell me how old this is and how I would go about finding a reputable company to restore/hone this to be shave ready?

    That looks like a nice heirloom.

    Where are you located? Knowing where you are would help recommending someone to hone or restore.

    yes, nice razor. the lack of country of origin would place it being made before 1891.

    Beautiful Razor.
    Wouldn't say it needs restored, just cleaned up and honed.

    Very nice razor. I would say as well that a good cleaning and honing seems to all that is needed. Can't wait to see the final product. I would spare no expense with an heirloom like that.

    Very nice razor, it doesn't look like it's seen much use. I hope you enjoy it after it's shave ready.
