Here's some information.
Wade & Butcher is one of the most valuable straight razor brands a razor enthusiast can own. Founded by the brothers William and Samuel Butcher in Sheffield in 1818, the company later partnered with Robert Wade and introduced its products to the American market. Continuing production until 1959, the company produced many cutlery goods besides razors. Wade & Butcher straight razors are characteristically cleaver-like razors that are very large, thick and heavy, often with near-wedge grind. These razors have high quality steels and workmanship, generally harder than average Sheffield razors but still easy to hone. They take a comfortable and durable edge. Due to their heavy weight, they shave effortlessly. As they have a thick grind they can be restored very efficiently unlike the old German straight razors with very thin grinds and can be used for many years. If you have a Wade & Butcher straight razor, even your great-grandchild can use it years later if it is properly cared for. For these reasons, Wade & Butcher straight razors are sought after razors with high collection value, very desirable for every razor enthusiast in the world today.
