Interesting that one has a longbow stamped into the tang. Betcha that is why W&B advertised theirs as "The Only True Bow Razor".
Neat collection. Those obscure marques can be some of the best shavers.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

I thought that was interesting too. But Gilchrest was the US branch of W&B out of NJ, so it's just an imported W&B that doesn't say W&B.

It was a pleasure to see those blades at the meet, N. I love looking at the old Sheffields almost as much as I love shaving with them.

Agreed, they are as good, and in some cases, better than some well known Sheffields. Originally Posted by JimmyHAD

Looking good. Thanks for sharing!
Was intrigued by the non-W&B bow razor, but I see that has been explained above.

I just got this refurbished one in today. It is my first. SO I can confidently call this My Wade & Butcher?
