The razor

Wade & Butcher were among the best-known Sheffield razor makers of the 19th century, and the Original Arrow was one of their signature razors. The tang carries the Wade & Butcher, Sheffield, England stamp with the arrow and cross marks, and the razor comes in its original green Wade & Butcher box, embossed with the same marks.

This one wears glossy black horn scales, and its condition is stunning.
