Karl's work is truly superb, the bone scales as well as the faux tortoise scales he did for my Lancet and Elliot, are razor thin.

If one didn't know any better, the bone for all intents and...

Time to add my latest Wade & Butcher, The Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor, For Barber's Use, to the Shop...restored magnificently by Karlej and scaled in bone.

Yup, as Zak and ScienceGuy have pointed out, same guys with their assistants were making the razors for most of the maker's.

One hour they could be stamping Wade & Butcher's, the next Rodgers,...

Beautiful Steve, have that exact same Masonic blade, only the scales on mine didn't live on mine.

Those aren't the original scales for that one either are they?

All Wade and Butcher's are beautiful, and each and every one completes me in it's own unique way:o....this one has cleaned up beautifully so far, been sitting doing some light sanding, and darnit,...

Went somewhat under the radar, listed as 7/8, knew it was a chopper, it's 9/8 + (by just a tad), and came at a steal...beautiful, massive chunk of Sheffield steel arrived yesterday.

Here's a pic...

Hey stranger....great to see you posting again...missed you!!!

How's things?

New addition, couldn't pass this up.....

Wade & Butcher, The Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor, For Barber's Use...stellar Sheffield steel as usual.:D

Absolutely, think the last one came out around 1927 or so if I'm not mistaken.....:rofl2:

Totally, totally awesome, you win!!!

Really brings a sense of history with what we're shaving with, and she's most likely singing about the "newer" W&B's, the one's with, "England" stamped on the...

That is a fine looking razor - I have that one, but the, "The Celebrated Fine India Steel", was ground off the spine of the razor, which still bugs me to this day, been looking for one like yours for...

I saw that one and was going to place a bid on it and though, nah, don't need another one, figured it being an FBU it would go through the roof as well - price you got it, doesn't get any better than...

Back a day early, epic shave with this razor planned for tomorrow.

Here are some pics from the previous owner, the tragedy, followed by the rebirth of this Wade & Butcher, Ottoman Egyptian and...

That is a Massasauga Rattlesnake.....scared the absolute crap out of the wife and daughter...they're both still in the car.....:)

Thanks - it's a 6/8 wedge, aside from that break, the blade and stamps are in perfect condition, and as pointed out in a thread about these, The Royal Windsor Hotel was around in the 1910-20's...

Have some very nice pics from the seller - when I return from the cottage, will post them.

Saw a small rattlesnake outside the cottage on the way for some shipwreck diving...it's rattle sounded...

Silver-soldered - that's it, that's the exact term he used. Said he had a pro do it, and that it is extremely solid, so good to hear Tom that is was the correct way to do it.

And yea, my heart...

SWMBO had to head back to the city for a day - so this was waiting for me at home and she brought it up for me to the cottage.

The previous owner had attempted to restore it, I gather the spine...

I was looking at another razor that the seller who sold me that W&B, turns out he had a similar razor to one that I thought (and was corrected by another member) was from around 1790, couldn't quite...

Never thought of that...awesome plan and idea....thanks, I'll PM you when it arrives for some help doing that...thanks man!!! :rock:

Really - that would be amazing and very interesting - great if they were ivory.

I was speculating that perhaps the scales were a modern addition, and it you're thinking the washers are modern,...

Scales look to thick to be ivory, and the presence of washers is generally not found on ivory scales...we'll see, listing said bovine bone....:-)

If they are ivory...yippee!!

This one should be here any day now...thought I was going to walk away with this one unchallenged from a European seller, listed in French I believe, so figured it went under the radar...there was my...

Yes, this one sat in my razor chest for over two years...the scales were badly bug eaten, cracked at both pin areas, and had a few chunks out of them at various places. Valery made use of all the...

Thank-you, Val from The Gentleman's Den did a smashing job on it. The original scales were toast, but all the brass is OEM.

It's a 9/8.
