Thread: Help Identifying Razors

Hi! I was recently PIFed a couple of straights by a buddy over on B&B. I was just wondering if someone could help me ident them, and maybe date range them. Thanks guys.

Here's what I kind of know already.
The yellow razor is a Wade and Butcher Speed.

The black razor is marked made I'm Germany, so it's post 1891, correct?

That's all I got. Hopefully one of you all can help me date range and give me a little more info on these razors. Thanks all.

i wonder if its the same razor

Where did you get the information about the "Wade & Butcher Speed" razor. I've seen a lot of W&B razors, but none with a hare and also none with just a W. B. that wasn't separated by an ampersand (&). The other razor seems to be a generic blade that can't be easily attributed to any particular maker.

Well.......I guess I'm going to have egg on my face about that. I just guessed, apparently incorrectly it appears. Sounds like it is probably a Challenge Cutlery Co. trademarked around 1905? Did I read that other thread correctly?

Anyone else have any ideas?
