I was cruising ebay when I found this interesting razor. The seller claims the "R" from Wade & Butcher is missing. Couldn't it be an early copy-cat?
RARE WADE & BUTCHER STRAIGHT RAZOR MISSING THE R & CASE - eBay (item 290394847503 end time Apr-23-10 13:49:53 PDT)
I didn't get much past the $$
I really hate these kinds of auctions "RARE!!!" is another word for fishing for a sucker.
Whether it's a misprint or not that razor is in bad shape.
Its probably a manufacturing defect, but the guy is using it as an excuse to ramp up the asking price.
IIRC, that ones been out there for a while now.
I didn't think much of the price either. I also don't trust anyone types in caps lock. But nice to know a bit about it!
I thought I saw this razor and topic before!
Check it out
Looks like no one wanted it then, but I suppose you could argue that the razor is somewhat "memorable". ;)
this one seems to be a recurring topic of discussion here.
400 bucks for a missing "R"...
399 does'nt make a missing r. I just got a really nice one for 50 bucks.

Apparently buddy still has no takers.
Just keep relisting it and hoping an uneducated person comes along to nab it.
Someone should put him out of his misery, tell him to clean it up and just use it.Quote:

Why it has gone remains a mystery, similarly to the reasons as to why certain parts of the bow logo etching have disappeared. Thats just the way time takes its toll on razors.
The seller as I am sure you know is ****ing in the wind. Now if that razor were in far better condition however, I am certain he would capitalize on that price.
