    Default found two razors! are they any good?

    i bought a boker red injun #101 that is a 5/8 square point ,full hallow and a wade and butcher , sheffeld thats a square point , full hollow, 6/8 blade, and spine thickness is about 3/16" thick . the wade and butcher also has buff horn scales. i really like the wade and butcher razor the heavy razors are so far my favorites. i paid $22 for the boker and $20 for the wade and butcher. the boker was super clean , no rust or tarnishing at all. and no chips in the blade just needs honed. the wade and butcher seems to be alot older just by the looks of it but i dont know much yet. it had alot of black on the blade and some pitting but nothing terrible. it had a nice clean edge just needs sharpened. im curious to about how old the razors i bought are? the qaullity of them? and after being made shave ready what they are worth and if i got a good deal? i would like to have them made shave ready and put into the rotation. rather than sell them. im just trying to find out more about them. i know lots of you guys out there are very smart when it comes to razors and cant wait to see what i can find out from you. thanks alot . and sorry still not figured out the picture thing!

    Vintage Boker red injuns are great shavers. Most W&B are as well. If there is no pitting at the edge you ought to be fine once they are pro honed. Sounds like a good deal to me if they are in good shape.

    They are worth what someone is willing to pay for them, not the place for evaluation, if you take a few minutes to search, you will find a lot of information about Bokers and wade and Butcher.

    Red Injuns are great shavers! i prefer the round tip red injun... It seems to be a scosh hollower than the square tips.. Probably a personal thing..
