Available is a 9/16" Wade & Butcher Straight Razor. This is a near wedge ground razor. Razor originates from Sheffield, England, home of the world-renowned straight razor craftsmen. This would make a good starter straight razor for someone getting into wet-shaving and wanting to purchase a razor to have forever, or a nice option for a seasoned veteran looking to finally get their hands on a Wade and Butcher!

This straight razor makes for a great razor because of its heft and comfortable shaves provided. Razor has been restored, cleaned, and sanitized making it Shave Ready for your shaving pleasure. Beautiful original scales are full of antique character and will definitely stand out in your collection. They are gorgeous down to the tiniest detail of the wedge, take a close look! Ground with a near wedge grind, this will plow down stubble like you've never experienced with lots of weight behind its smaller size. The blade has a beautiful patina that only comes from age. All active rust and corrosion has been removed, leaving the gorgeous patina as a reminder of the history this razor has seen.

Restoration: 

This razor underwent our complete Straight Razor Restoration Service. It was first polished, removing all active rust to reveal new metal and a mirror shine. Next, the scales were handcrafted depending specifically for this razor and expertly fashioned with new pins providing support, style, and control.

Honing starts out on a Chosera 1000 Wet stone were I begin to set the bevel. Once the bevel outline is finished I move onto the Chosera 3000 where the bevel is cleaned up and refined. Next its on to the polishing stage which starts out on the Aishyama 6000 and moves to the naniwa 12000. After the 12k, a perfectly good shave can occur. But we like to take it one step further and finish with a high polish on the Suehiro Gokumyo 20000. After honing, the blade is stropped, oiled, and arrives shave ready! Please do not strop this razor before your first shave.
