I picked all of this up at a local garage sale from a retired barber, but I don't know the style of this large Wade and Butcher. Any help would be great, thank you.
Garage sale finds, but can you help me name one?

Thanks guys. It does have the shape of the Ottoman, but not the inscription on the blade. Maybe over time it's just been worn down? Or maybe its something else? I know the odd shape is what attracted me to it though.
very nice find
Very nice. What else is in the lot?

So....I might as well ask publicly what everyone is thinking privately....is it for sale/trade?
Hey will you buy some lottery tickets and send them to me? Seems like you're having some really good luck!! Excellent score!
So how many coins did you put in the slot before you hit the jackpot? What's the maker's mark say? Anything besides W&B Sheffield? Very cool razor.

I never got a real chance to inspect them fully. I think the one on the left is a common one, as it looks like many others I have. Now the one on the right is from the Coronation of king Geroge 1937. Its a souvenir grooming set. Pieces like the toothbrushwersed and wrapped in in
what is the small straight razor on the bottom right?
