Thread: Expressly for Barbers!

We have all seen For Barbers Use blades, and even a few For Barbers Only, but have you ever seen a razor Expressly For Barbers?

May I present the only Butlers Expressly for Barbers I have ever seen!


Now who sees what I see that makes this really unique?

As a guess I'd say the etching is usually on the other side of the blade. Nice size, BTW.

Damn... It's a salad of weird design cues. Unusual toe profile, reverse stamp and etch, it's a hollow ground, but the stabilizer is ground nice and out of the way for a change. I have a wedge butcher with that toe profile.

Since its stamped on the other side does it make it a left handed razor?

Lets see the other side!

Heh, You got it Martin, the other side coming right up, and for the record, shes a solid 1" wide =)

Very unusual, thanks for the pic, very cool razor!

My very first razor was a Butlers Keen back in 86. When I bought this one, I swore it would be my last. That was 2 years ago. You can guess how failed THAT resolution was. I really want to send it out to Undream for a proper restore, but I am thinking I cant wait, and want to shave with it soon.

Ain't gonna wear that one out in a lifetime of shaves ! Awesome.

Now the question is, does anybody have any info on this puppy? date wise. Its sporting a variety of the Butler Trade Marks, so perhaps one of you genius googlers can figure something out?
