When I first started using a straight razor about 5 years ago this was the razor I always envisioned one day owning.
To me the Wade & Butcher For Barbers Use epitomises what a straight razor should be, a big no nonsance, one slip cut throat, Sweeny Todd style and finally I found one that exceeds my expectations.
To say that this razor was made in the 1800s makes the mind boggle, I know it was made for one purpose but to me it's a little piece of art. If one thing that I'm proud of my English heritage is that we know how to make great razors! For its size its such a smooth shaver and I'm so glad I finally got to own one.

Couldn't agree more, they are my favourite blade!

I can see the pic now....

WOW! That's the one brother and it's in pristine shape, I agree, they are a piece of art IMO, and that is a beauty...that looks like a solid 8/8 or 9/8?

Pic now visible.
Great looking razor. Congrats!

Its a solid 8/8 with some hone wear thats a little toe heavy but it honed up very nicely. The original horn scales are almost perfect. Couldn't be happier.

Wow
That is one awesome piece.

Congrats

I'm assuming you've had a shave with it, what did you think?
