Inspired in part by Outback's New Years Day SOTD, and the amazing razors featured in the thread about rare razors, I picked up my first Civil War era Wade & Butcher from Griffith. Figured I would use a photo of a family member, Thomas Rapp, GAR, killed fighting that war to put it into context Name: IMG_0082.jpg

Lovely razor. He does wonderful restorations and his prices seem reasonable.

Congratulations. I saw that beauty too during one of my frequent visits to Griffith.

Still haven't cleaned it up, yet.

What's your width, mines 7/8ths

That is very cool. Mine is 6/8ths.

Surely they were not mass produced? The scales are the same but the blades are slightly different. Glad to be able to join the club!

**sharptonn** · 02-28-2020, 02:03 AM

You betcha they were mass-produced! Looks like my blade and yours are same with that spine treatment Mike's does not seem to have?

**Portsecurity** · 02-28-2020, 02:08 AM

Agreed. Is that spine purely for looks? Does it make the razor difficult to hone?

**sharptonn** · 02-28-2020, 02:10 AM

Yes, for looks. Does yours have it on the backside too?
They always hone fine for me.
