Fake Wade & Butcher??????
Fake Wade & Butcher??????
I have a Wade & Butcher razor and it looks new and modern. The scales are plastic and the etching looks like it was done by electric or a laser. Did anyone take over the name and continue to make them or is it a fake, has anyone else come across one.

Thanked: 9Can't it be just something, which cleaned up well and got new plastic scales?

Thanked: 8It might be genuine but the tang shape looks a little normal for a W&B. Don't think they are original scales though.

I think the razor is genuine but the scales are new.

Thanked: 1Tony...
I didn't get a chance to look. My McAfee site advisor program tells me that the site where those photos are stored contain spyware.

Sorry about that Bill I wasn’t aware. I will have to find another site.
I have posted pictures on another site. I am reluctant to list it on ebay as I don’t want any comeback.
I suppose I could always offer a sale or return.

I would think it is a real W&B. I havent seen a razor counterfit market that has been brand specific yet, only one that was specific to the country of origin. Also, the official W&N logo is on the razor, I doubt the entire logo would be faked by someone trying to pass it off as a W&B
