Straight Razor Eye Candy

[Above The Tie]

Here is my first straight razor. It is a Wade & Butcher that was completely trashed. Scales were broken and worm eaten, blade rusty, a complete wreck. As you can see it has been wonderfully restored. I am hoping you experts could chime in and educated me about what I Have such likely production date, etc. Thanks for you help. Thia is something I will keep for myself, I came from the estate of a loved one. One day I may even try to use it.

Hope you enjoy the photos!

Sweet! I wish i could give you some more deets on it, but the tang/tail make it look kind of modern, but unicletica says late 1800s

I'd love to see the "before" pictures because the "after" ones are sure pretty! Beautiful job.

Fantastic! That razor demands to be used. It didn't survive years of neglect to be unused.

Wow, that's wonderful. I especially appreciate how the spine wear would appear to have been rounded and softened as part of the restoration process.
