Nice razors !
Back in the 90's , I went to a local Lady barber to get a haircut , after the haircut she asked me if I wanted a shave for half price - she pointed to the discount sign on the wall . I said '' Sure '' She pull out a strait razor - I was terrified at first , but she was very gentle - closest shave I've ever had . Never been to a barber shop since .

How old is this Wade & Butcher Straight Razor?

 

[jtw1313]

So the wade should be 1860-1870

If anyone can find one with writing across the top

It's appreciated I can't find one like it......I think the writing across the top dates it really old......nice blued color like a old gun

1870s Wade & Butcher, Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor ? Fretzwerks

I know enough to get me in trouble. Ex wife inherited about 400 of them from a collector and I helped her sell them one at a time on Ebay. The Wade & Butcher is the best of the bunch in my humble opinion. They often came in a black box shaped like a coffin. Do yours have the boxes ?

 

[jtw1313]

No boxes with mine

Here are a few I bought from the ex. They make a cool display in the bathroom. The top one is a Wade & Butcher. I also have a Civil War vintage bone handled one in my Civil War collection.
