Where did you, um, stumble across this? Nice finds! For the chinese markings, check this out - http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...azors-bay.html. Yours might be a Wade and Butcher. The markings, blade shape, tail, and collars are identical.

I am super jealous, you have no idea... I especially love the Wade and Butcher 8/8, the first one you listed. If you ever decide to let it go... let me know. I would be extremely interested in adding it to my collection.
All in all, you have some EXCELLENT razors there. Congratulations!

Some guy had been collecting since he was 14, he's moving, wants to downsize. That's all I know about him. Super nice guy, his wife made us coffee while we looked through his stuff. Wonderful experience all around!

Aw man, that's the best. My favorite razors are usually the ones that I have a long story behind how I acquired it, involving actual interactions with people. Originally Posted by brooksie967

Had a similar experience when I was collecting cameras. By that I mean the pleasure of doing business with a nice older couple and the wife served up coffee. Nice and relaxing experience. You can't beat it. Originally Posted by brooksie967

I must admit, that was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
It took us 2+ hours STRAIGHT of inspecting razors in an assembly line fashion.
We both walked away with an INCREDIBLE haul. I never thought I'd see that many
blades in one place, let alone be able to touch them all and have my pick of the litter!
I'm incredibly grateful about what we found, and the experience of meeting that nice couple.
And it wouldn't have been nearly as fun to do by myself, so I'm glad I invited Brooksie to
share it with me.
Besides, if he wasn't there he wouldn't have believed me. And if he did believe me he would
have beaten me uf for not taking him
Through the mud and the blood, to the green fields beyond.

Holy heavens I am jealous and waiting to see the where, what, and why.
Great find
I wish I could help on the markings.
