Today I took possession of a very nice haul from a kind gentleman on Facebook Marketplace who originally didn’t want to ship these razors. I then notified him of the very high value of his Wade & Butcher For Barbers Use and that he really should attempt to sell it on eBay for 10 times what he had it offered at. Then curiously he changed his tune and offered to sell me all the razors at the original price plus shipping… 
it almost felt like a scam!!! I totally thought I bought a scam 
I like to think that he sold them to me because he felt I was being genuine with him and wanted him to do well. He did not want to go through the hassle and was glad to let them go to someone who could care for them.
@Majorrich I have found your razor, check out the inscription on the back
@BarberDave @mvargo @CVargo @Fenster @AvocadoQueen @dkeester @heysi @Spider @uacowboy @NurseDave , What do you think? LOL
It's a full 8/8 FBU it WILL restore super easily. The back scale is busted up and eaten a bit, but should still be a great shaving razor!
This Taylor Tip Top is a cool little shorty, but these Ivorite scales would look perfect on a shorty Heljestrand MK31!
This is one SWEET set of Corn Scales! I have an Ohio Cutlery Co. Razor that I think will look perfect in this set of scales. I thought for sure this was a corn razor, but its a sad old keen kutter that's seen better days... @Majorrich What do you think?
Near NOS WESTER BROS! I love the scales and the Bolsters! The only Manganese Steel Razors I have by wester bros have plain scales.
Lastly, I have another Nickel-plated Sheffield razor. I was certain it was a Microtome, because nearly all Extra Hollow Ground Sheffield razors are, ESPECIALLY if they are Nickle-plated, but it turned out to be true hollow ground that is totally servicable.

Great stuff Matt. That W & B is a beauty. A fun project to restore and hopefully bring the old sales back. The Wester Bros is a nice find for sure, should hone up a treat!!
You noticed they say WAP right? lol

I've had a ZE V1 for a while now, but it's more video oriented, I got it for my coaching work, and hoping to do some YouTube stuff eventually.
But in truth I just started taking lots of photos, and really enjoyed it so wanted to get a more photography oriented camera. The ZE V1 doesn't even have a viewfinder.
But there are way cheaper ways to get started if you go micro 4/3 or ASPC. Sony has been killing it lately, and seems to be focused on releasing more accessible cameras too.
Having always shot on an iPhone, whatever they say, a real camera is just a nicer experience and if you like those beautiful blurred backgrounds, smart phones just aren't there.

Thank you @HMan I'll take a look at them. I know 20 years ago Cannon was still king!
