    Default Look what came today

    I checked the mail today and found this razor I won on eBay. It is marked Wilbert Cutlery Chicago on the tang, and Silver King is etched on the blade. I paid a total of 20.51 including shipping, so how did I do ?

    I'd say you did very well - I have a Wilbert Pearl with custom wood scales and its a great shaver!! Twenty bucks is a drop in the bucket for a nice blade like that IMHO!

    Sweet ! I hadn't heard of the brand, but it looked pretty cool so I thought I would take a chance.

    The blade is really much cleaner than it looks in the pic - I need some practice with the camera - and it has very little hone wear.

    I honed it a bit on my 4k/8k Norton and finished on a pasted strop, and it passed HHT easily, so I think it may get a shave test tomorrow.

    Sometimes I wish my whiskers would grow faster. Sigh...

    Yep, it is. That was actually what caught my eye first. I have a few spikes, and one W&B with a barber's notch, but this is my first oblique.

    As much as I'm not a fan of the Frogs, I do like the razor point that is named after their land mass. I'm definitely going to own one like that.

    Nice razor though!

    I detect some prejudice against the French? Remember; going to war without the French is like going deer hunting without your accordion.
