Near mint 1900s Wade & Butcher Sheffield England Straight Razor Shave Ready

Wade and Butcher
Shave ready, sharp razor.
This is an early 1900s razor. All original.
Could be earlier but that's a good guestimate. Scales are original. I modded these scales. The scales were longer than the blade so I sawed about a finger's length off and used the horn for a spacer. So it is all original but modified to look better.
Scales are horn. I polished them and they look like new now. A name is engraged on them. Looks like an old Book Binder's razor. I don't like to remove the history but you could if you'd like. Scales are very tight and centered. Steel looks almost brand new. It's under 5/8" in width. Little round point.

Steel is in really good shape. Same for the tang impressions. Usually those are near completely gone after 130 years.

Adoption fee is high to make sure it goes to someone who will preserve it properly.

Warning by purchasing any of our BeardKnife products you agree that you are asserting that you are not stupid and ergo responsible for anything bad that happens to you or a razor that is in your hands.
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: You are responsible for your countries taxes not me. If you place an order and I ship the order and it comes back to me because you refused to pay your own import fees or taxes I will NOT issue a refund. So I highly recommend you pay your duties OR do NOT order from BeardKnife. This removes my product from inventory, it costs me twice as much to ship, my seller fees are greater than your tax obligation. I don't like taxes either...but I'm not responsible for your taxes. I cannot ban buyers but not every customer is a paying customer and I do not want you to purchase from me if you cannot satisfy the terms of the listing. You drive up prices for all the other customers who want what they order. Don't be that guy.
