In one of my post I asked about the Celebrated. After talking to the owner at the store they took off 10%. Got this for $21.00. It's a really cool razor. How well of a shaver is it?

Congrats on the find. These large W&B Celebrated razors are among the finest shavers there are.get it honed up and enjoy.
Here is it's twin, currently being auctioned on the 'Bay'
WADE AND BUTCHER STRAIGHT RAZOR SHEFFIELD
You will notice that there is somewhat of a price difference!
Congratulations on securing your one, a lovely razor!
Love the chopper, I want a big nasty like that myself.
Great find...
I love my W&B. I have a Special that had a pice missing from the tip. After a little Dremel work and honong it is a great shaver.
Did you say you got it for $21 ???!!!!!!
I sure did;)
They are very expensive. The one on the link has been restored with added "bling". Unfortunately, str8 shaving just wasn't my gig. My 16 year old loves it. I'm sticking to the old safety razors. My boy thought it was way to big so I sold it. Lets just say it paid for 2 round tickets to Florida this spring.
Holy Crap!! WOW well done :) I love this razor!! I hope to own one in my lifetime :)
The 2 life partners I bought it from get razors in all the time. I'm always looking out for W&B. My son has 6 razors that where his great grandfathers and grandmothers to shave with. I have two old adjustable 1960's Gillette safety's I enjoy using. So, I hit the antique shops to see what hidden treasure I will find.
We don't have antique stores like that here in England. We have furniture *YAWNS*. In WA, my fiance and I head to the antiques stores all the time, they are GREAT!!
I love my 9/8 chopper. It's easily one of my best shavers. Got to be careful though....they're big!
