Thanks so much Zak for your, as always, level-headed insights. I truly respect and appreciate your commentary on this endeavour.

I just wanted to quickly speak to a few points you made and wonder...

Hi Guys,

So as to keep this thread updated on our progress I just wanted to point out a quick video we just added to our FB page showing the deep engraving for the makers mark on the Irontusk...

Hi Guys, (I posted this in the Butcher Shop thread, so just re-posting it here).


... It would be nice I won't lie, if there was just some more kind/optimistic support and less unfounded...

Believing firmly that 'there is nothing new under the Sun', I do feel there is a deep and somewhat unfortunate mood of cynicism in these recent comments. Are we not to add to the tapestry of straight...

Ah yes, the 'Razor World', I've been meaning to visit ;)

Jokes aside, I guess we agree to disagree, Martin? There is surely room in the razor world for more than your 5 point styles in that...

Indeed, many point styles 'look very similar' to other point styles... The Bézier Notch is most aptly described as a transition between a true Dreadnought and a proper clipped Barbers notch. The...

Hey Gabriel, well, we'll have to see in the new year... I mean, these Wade & Butcher razor things are 'spensive.. :p

Hey no worries man, just sharing my thoughts for the benefit of others reading and wondering..

No Gabriel, 60-63(max) HRC is I believe widely regarded as an acceptable hardness range for razor steel, especially modern sophisticated steels. Remember the final hardness is only one part of the...

Hi Guys,

RWL34 is indeed the primary steel we're using for all our razors - the patterned martensitic stainless damascus from Damasteel (called DS93X) is considerably more expensive and so will...

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to post a small update for those following this - below is our working spec-sheet for the Irontusk Razor (our first new W&B razor launching next year).
It just makes...

We have a name! Our first new straight razor model in over 70 years finally has an official name.

We present to you, Wade & Butcher's "Irontusk" Razor.

A blade inspired by the majestic forms...

Yes for sure. ( /wadeandbutcher ) for the big 3.

Cheers,

Hey Matheus, well - if you haven't already then I'd encourage you to sign up for our newsletter as that is the channel where we will divulge milestone announcements as things progress. (*subscribers...

Voidmonster captured my sentiment on this quite splendidly - but I figured I'd reiterate:


Could you show me a vintage W&B that is without defect? I'm referring to visible grind marks in the...

Hey Gabriel,

Again you make a fair point, and it's your right to have that stance for sure. I mean it makes sense..


But to answer your question directly: I just don't so strongly believe the...

Hey Gabriel,

No worries man, I totally get your opinion and indeed you are welcome to it as there are likely many who feel as you do, and again it is completely understandable.

I must tell...

No no, I just noted Charles was Chair of that org out of interest to the community here. Very specifically our razors will not carry the 'Made in Sheffield' mark, as indeed they will be fully...

Hi Guys,

I came across this thread and thought I should join in and just mention a few things. Firstly, this is my venture.

Secondly, I really thought I was giving myself some time with that...
