This should have been the SOD post, but it got me thinking. This Wade and Butcher in horn is about 150 years old and shaves maybe better than the day it was finished. I'll bet our hones are that much better. That said, this is a perfect edge. I don't sand the old blades to perfection I just clean them up (flitz and dremel) and make them look pretty good, sharpen them and put them in the drawer with the other four vintage W&B blades and other assorted blades

How many 150+ year old blades are still out there. If you have some mid 1800's blades or older, let's see them!

150 years old isn’t that old for a straight razor, so that might be the reason for a less than huge response - 150 year old razors are most of many people’s collections. Here’s a couple of French pairs, made between 1850 and 1860.
