Thread: new to me wade and butcher

Hi folks,

I picked up a razor at an antique store this weekend past. Actually, I got two, but the other one was for a friend.

My razor is a W&B near wedge (as far as I understand) as there is a slight radius from spine to edge.
It has the W&B name on the tang and a logo that has an english cross and an arrow.
The blade has "free and easy" etched on it and the scales have a gold inlay that says "bon et utile." which is a french translation of the blade etching. the scale material is celluloid I think.

Can anyone tell me about this razor? I will post pictures as soon as I can.

I think you can find many interesting things about your razor here and here.

Post pictures too, please.

If it is in good shape once honed to shave ready you will have a super shaver.

here are the pics:
