Thread: Wade & Butcher time frame??

I have been straight shaving for about 8 months now and have been very pleased with it!!! Starting with my 5/8ths sway-back W&B going to a Bismarck, and now I am so excited I was able to pick up my first chopper at a VERY discounted rate in my opinion.
I am very curious how long this razor has been around. There are 2 W&B 9/8'ths choppers in these pics and mine is the one w/o the barber’s notch. So the barber's notch razor belongs to one of the members here who provides restorations and was kind enough to lend me it for a trial run!!! (Stays nameless unless he would like to be know and can post on here). The ground on his is like a 1/4th hollow. The grind on mine is seemingly a full hollow. Don’t know if this is common for the choppers but I think this might be the first full hollow I have seen. The owner of the other razor was confused about the timeframe of mine because of the no barber’s notch? Thanks for your help in this matter.
