Another Wade and Butcher thread.

The 1890 maker's country stamp does not work Absolutley..

If it has a stamp it is "Probably" post 1890 and was exported, now if the razor was made post 1890 but not exported it doesn't have to have a stamp..

There are also early razors that have Country stamps, maybe just because they were proud of the razor..

As usual there are no real "Carved in Stone" rules in this sport

I have one that is a very near twin to the one in black here. *However* the one difference is on the tang. Mine reads "Manufactured by Wade & Butcher Sheffield England" with the arrow & cross. Since the styles are otherwise almost identical, I wonder if that dates mine to early 1890s and yours late 1880s?

This was actually my first ever attempt at re-scaling, and I cringe every time I look at those pins. I really need to redo that one of these days...

I don't have much info for you but here is another one similar to one of yours.



Not a bad shaver either.

How wide are yours Bob? Cangooner?

How wide are yours Bob? Cangooner?

Nearly the exact same dimensions as yours. 6/8" width, 3" cutting edge. So just a shade narrower.

Mine looks to have some pretty extensive hone wear so i'm thinking it was probably 7/8 before?

Mine has hardly any at all, so I don't think it was ever much larger than it is now. I've noticed the grind is a bit different at the heel end, so maybe they are not quite twins, but bros separated by a few years.

Mine is just a little feller, 5/8.
