    Virtually no monkey tail, straight scales with no curve. No distinct separation between tang and cutting edge are typical of pre 1800 razors. I have a Rodgers like that and it is an excellent shaver. W&B began as 'Wade' and you see them occasionally. Early 1800s IIRC. Butcher was the USA rep and that is how the two teamed up and W&B became such a large and successful enterprise. That and they made a heck of a razor IME too.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
