Hey all,
So was looking for a razor that had a smiley and a notch or french point. I came across this razor and won.
Vintage WADE & BUTCHER Sheffield Straight Razor CHOPPER - eBay (item 160275766632 end time Aug-31-08 17:29:00 PDT)
Do you think it was a good buy?
I think so. It looks great.
Yes, this was a most excellent good buy (dude, lol). 1st of all, it's a W&B which is a very sought after razor, in what looks to be in great condition. + it looks to be about a 7/8 chopper. If you look in our new "Classified" section you will find razors in there that are not nearly as nice, or desirable as this one for a heck of a lot more. - at lest $125.00 +
You could turn around and sell that for twice the price you paid for it. Prices are going up for real good str8's these days.
Yea, you did very well! :tu Good job!

The biggest thing is that your happy with what you spent. W&B's are good razors as Steve said. It looks like someone has done a lot of resto work to this one for you. Since the condition of the scales, with all the scratches and gouges, plus what looks like a T by the butt end, I would guess the blade has been reground. There's nothing wrong with that just an observation. With the shine on the scales I would guess they finished it with something.
Overall I think you did pretty good. Let us know how it shaves

It's beautiful, it's shiny, it's big. You done good!
Nice acquisition!
