It's from 'Razor Talkin' from this forum..

He sent me this message when I asked about it...

Uh yeh...ok...

No idea on condition etc. but it's going for a lot less on a buy-it-now thanothers have gone for.

hard to say but is that the size of a meat chopper?

It's got medium etched on the blade so I doubt it's huge (if huge is what you're after) - just remember seeing a cheapish W&B in my watch list.

Medium blades are usually around 5/8. Personally, I think that's quite expensive for that blade.

Thanks guys, I think what gets my attention is the 1 inch blades...

So it's usually the cleavers/choppers that go for tidy sums?

If I see one going for a decent price I'll post it up here..

I got a W & B Celebrated Fine India Steel Razor Last week from the 'Bay for about $45 US. It's a near full wedge, chopper/ cleaver and blade width is just strong of 27/32nd. Currently being polished

Part their popularity might also be because Lynn mentions W&B as being good shavers in his DVD. That and there are so many out there that they get a ton of brand exposure.
