Nice Wade & Butcher "Special"

I think I lucked out on Ebay. I got a Wade & Butcher "Special" for $12.50 shipped.

There's a little uneven hone wear on the toe but otherwise it's in very good shape. I used a little Mother's and it polished up nicely. The scales are a nice buttercup finish.

Given the price and the lack of bidding I expected there to be some issues upon arrival but it looks even better than in the Ebay pictures.

I'm attaching one of the Ebay pictures. It appears that the blade isn't polished but it actually is. The Mother's took care of a few darker spots but it came polished overall.

I have a bone W&B coming that I paid $37 for but I think I'm going to like this one even better! It's a 5/8's by the way. $W&B.jpg
 
When everybody is looking for bigger, better, best, there's something to be said about the guy whose happy with an average, inexpensive razor. If the joy you get out of this is simply shaving with a straight razor, you can save A LOT of money!
