Thread: Wade and Butcher Featheredge

Outstanding work, Chris. Looks really good. Question for you. I recently picked up a few razors at an antique store and one of them has this style of blade (thick spine then thin blade.) It is called a lancet as well?

Chris......... you gotta slap on some knarly scales. That IS a beautiful razor!

Great work. Like it really. Probably a great shaver.

I think, thats a design of the time. Have an similar razor, here with snakewood scales:


Fantastic to shave with.

Who made it? What does it say on it? Got any pics? A thick spine and thin blade could be a frameback too but if it sticks out with the round point like that it is similar to the razors labeled "Lancet" by Mappin and Webb, the changable blade LeCoutre framebacks, and this guy.
