    I'm tapped out on funds, but someone here better jump on this sweet razor. I don't think I've seen too many big Wosties that are this nice. VINTAGE GEORGE WOSTENHOLM WASHINGTON STRAIGHT RAZOR - eBay (item 360300346982 end time Sep-20-10 17:00:02 PDT)

    Part of the reason she looks so nice is she was reground. At least, I'd bet on it.

    It's not going to be ending at $10.95. It's a nice big blade so it'll go high.

    It's got tracks on it from either grinding or buffing. I don't know if any left the factory like that, but I have not seen one.

    I hadn't even thought about a regrind... Still, if the price stays low enough, it looks like it'd still be a nice shaver.

    Looks like a re-scale job too not to mention the toe looks non-original/possibly lost part of it. Could be a good shaver though.

    It does not look normal to me either.
