    Default Does this W & B look legit?

    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"...

    Apparently buddy still has no takers.

    Just keep relisting it and hoping an uneducated person comes along to nab it.

    Exclamation

    The seller advertises "No Reserve." Click <Make an Offer> and offer him five bucks. ;-)
    Namaste,
    Morty -_-
