Looking for blades

[willist]

I just recived this Wade and Butcher DE safety razor although the box looks a little beat the razor is unused. It came with 4 new unused curved blades. I know this razor hasn't been made in many many years I was wondering if anyone knows if there might be a source for additional blades.

Pre-curved blades? Seems odd to me. How well does it shave?

Willist, you should be able to use a regular DE blade in there. It will stick out a little more on the side, but not enough to expose any of the sharp corners. At least that was what I found with my 1907 Gillette open-comb like that. Not such a great shaver though, as there is no blade gap.

I tried a regular Mekur blade but the way the pins are in the razor it causes the blade to bend upward at all four corners, looks dangerous. I guess I'll just use one of the blades it came with. I like to shave with all the razors in my collection. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
