Just got this yesterday. Pretty stoked to start cleaning this up. Has a slight warp in the scales but i think she will clean right up and be just fine. Comes in at 13/16 clear across the blade and very little hone wear. Hope to save horn scales and resurrect this baby. New learning experiences [emoji4]

Cleveland Ohio! That would be a good one to know more about.
There is some info i dont remeber exact dates but they were a cutlery company started in early/ mid 1800's cant remember when they ceased to be. Pretty excited to get time to work on it. Ill look in a bit and see if i can re find the info sharptonnQuote:

That early, it is most certainly a Wade and Butcher (Guess!) made and stamped for a cutler/retailer?
At any rate, it looks in fair nick!
Martin shall be along........

Ohio Steel Rocks..!!
Cleaned and honed a Bingham for a barber hear. The test shave was remarkable, almost didn't take it back to him...Har!!
I'm hoping he'll sell it to me some day, since I've done a few others for him now.
What makes you say wade and butcher sharptonn? My knowledge is not that in depth.

Outback, Ohio steel rocks because YOU have it all! :rofl2: (Well,,,,Almost!)
It just looks like one. My H& JW King looks a Wade and Butcher as well. For good reason, I suppose!Quote:

Annnnd THERE you have it folks! We shall be here all week! :chapeau
So in studying the infancy of American-made razors, the end of Bingham's outfit should be right about there?
No way a fairly short-lived outfit in Cleveland was turning out finished and etched Razors such as yours. Still a rare bird.
A bad pic of a frowning foundling, But you get my drift?

I agree sharptonn, the tangs are pretty similar lol. Sadly just noticed the grind is a bit wonky on this one.

Well started cleaning this ol gal. After some elbow grease noticed slight pitting took 3000 grit trizact paper too it with no real result. In the end to not damage the etching decided to polish it up a bit and clean her well. Found it has the smallest lead wedge under gunk. Just going to leave it how it is with minor imperfections hone and use. Hopefully get it honed this weekend.

Well honed last night and shaved this morning, not quite there. Takes arm hair like crazy but beard no bueno. Bake to the 4k for a bit and try again. It will be great when its ready!
