Wade & Butcher Universally Approved
Picked this up this morning for $15, it seemed like a good deal. The one thing I'm slightly confused about about the stamp. Under the crown it says WR, now I know if it was stamped VR it would have been Victoria but I don't know who the W would be unless it's William IV?
Anyways, here it is, hope you enjoy!

That's a really cool W&B! Nice score!
I'm of no help with the whole WR thing though

Great razor!!! The WR is for William the IV and can date the razor from 1830-1837.

That is a beautiful razor. I love the toothy file jimps on the top and bottom.

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Congrats indeed. Aside from being a beauty, W&B's like that are quite rare. Excellent score.

Thanks for all the information about the razor, certainly will make a fine addition to the collection.
Thank you as well, Jimmy, for the kind offer. However, the W&B has chosen me as it's master, considering the half inch deep cut I have in my thumb now...

Understatement or what? One heck of a deal, pretty remarkable actually. Thats in good condition too. I would either restore or certainly send it out to one of meisters on this forum. Will clean up beautifully. Love that diamond back
