Tyler Durden's Wade & Butcher

When I saw this razor I knew that I had to have it.
I was really drawn to it because of the type. It seems very modern and sleek.
Something that a high end retail store might do if they were in the business of straight razors.
Has anyone else seen type like this before?

And then it hit me...the etching reminds me of the type that they used for FIGHT CLUB

So this razor is on it's way. So I can't really comment on all of it's features and dimensions.
I am definately growing a fondness for the look of frame backs. I recently purchased a
7/8 George Wostenholm & Sons "Doubly Carbonized IXL Frameback Razor and that one is cool too.

thanks

Very interesting, indeed. I'm not a W&B connoisseur by any means, but that specimen looks unique to me as I've never seen one like that before.

BTW - nice Fight Club reference. I do see what you mean, but perhaps you shouldn't be talking about it.....

VERY nice! When I glanced at it quickly in the first picture, I thought it said "Hello Ground" LOL

Oh and I'm still laughing at Ryan's comment, "perhaps you shouldn't be talking about it…"

it really is a unique razor, and the font is totally from fight club lol...nice grab :)

I bid on that one.....

nice catch!

I had one of those once. As I recall, it was a very nice shaver. The combination of the heavy blade (from the spine and size) with the hollowness at and above the edge makes it an interesting razor to shave with.

Saw that. I could not help but wonder if the heel had not been reshaped as the "D" is into the edge of it. Slick razor, Though!

"I am Jack's razor..."

Those have been known to warp the space/time continuum. Use the force wisely.

FINE looking razor!

I thought it said HELLO GROUND the first time I looked at too. LOL

She's a keeper, enjoy the shaves with her.

That looks cool, sort of like the frameback you buy when you're not buying a frameback...

To me the type looks like Helvetica. I saw a documentary on Helvetica font once, it was very interesting...for a documentary on a font that is...

dang what a nice blade enjoy that shave

I saw the same thing Tom

Kool Razor, But remember Rule #1..... "We never talk about Fight Club"

I would say yours was almost definitely redone around the heel. Here is a photo of the one I had.

Looks like mine was honed a lot more than yours.

Ok this is one movie reference that I don't get. Maybe it's not a movie quote. I'm leaning towards Full Metal Jacket when they are talking about their rifles. "There are many like it but this one is mine."

It does have a swooping look. If not for the etch, it could go unnoticed. It is the history of the piece. Who would not notice the shape, though. I definitely see the attraction. It caught my eye! It looks great. It will shave great! :tu
