An unrestored Wade & Butcher near wedge. This 15/16” blade is extremely dense and heavy and still wears the original scales. It glides through facial hair like butter. Truly an amazing artifact. The GR stamp dates it to the reign of King George III, between 1760 through 1820.

My first real straight razor. An amazing Wade & Butcher that was reground hollow beat back in the day. Hollow grinding was a common service done in the late 1800’s. It was to provide easier sharpening for users. I handmade the black locust scales by hand and used copper hardware for a vintage look.
