    One says For Barbers Use and sells like hotcakes on the bay, and one says Barbers Use Only....and doesn't sell like hotcakes on the bay...Which I think is because we don't know for sure if it's actually a real WB or a knock off. I could be wrong though..I think Willie's gonna tell ya. either right before or right after I hit the Post Quick Reply icon. Does anybody know if they even sell hotcakes on a bay?

    I had noticed this. I think it is a "time frame" phenom. I wonder when they started making them and when they quit? Somewhere on the middle, the "only" was omitted?

    This is just a supposition on my part .. .. they began with 'only' but too many potential buyers took them seriously and didn't buy them. After all .... they weren't barbers. So W&B realized they were losing market share and went with barber's use.

    Is there evidence that there are fake Wade & Butchers out there?

    I strongly doubt it. I've had a couple of barbers only long ago and they were obviously the real McCoy.

    So is it safe to s that of the two ForBarbersOnly would be the older. With both being of the same design.

    Well? Elementary, my dear Watson.


    One was used on barbers and the other was used by barbers........

    I agree with nun2sharp (don't let that name fool ya either)

    I'll add that to my notebook of burning questions to ask when I get my time machine up and running.
