Thread: W&B, 8/8 - For Barber's Use

Don't see many of these that often lately, should clean up really nice...although the scales look pretty awesome, think Valery at the Gentleman's will be replacing them.

Great, but unexpected on eBay this morning. Can't believe I missed this one!?! Saw it with 3 minutes left and decided to go for it. Say's its an 8/8, or a 1 inch blade, from the photo, doesn't look quite there, but either way, quickest W&B I've ever purchased! And looks a good candidate for a nice restore project.

Looks fantastic.

When it's cleaned up it should be the perfect addition to your W&B collection

I look forward to seeing that one restored, Phrank!

Thanks! Funny story about this razor though, it was my daughter who found it and she wanted me to buy it on her behalf (she gave me the cash!!). She's starting a little store on eBay and has managed to grab a few DE's and wanted a straight for her, "For Him", section on her little vintage store.

Quite proud of her actually, she's found some amazing vintage clothes and some pretty nice top of the line hand bags at thrift stores, and she say's she's heard me babble enough about wet shaving she figured it would be a great idea for her store. So she wants a straight, she's going to use it as a banner for her men's section, but may not offer it for sale right away.

She knew it was an FBU, and knew that it was a bigger blade and that they were popular (with her Dad at least), only asked me if I thought it would clean up OK.

So, this one won't be going into my collection - darn!!!

Maybe she'll give you a good deal on it!

LOL - I was waiting for this.....

I'd leave the string on there. Just tighten up the knot for the restore.
Nice grab

I'd leave the string as well, use it to tie the razor to your neck, you know like a glasses chain so you don't lose it!!
