I had my eye on these razors...and watched them go high for me, and rightly so -- they are simply beautiful. I believe them to be real tortoise, and are in exquisite condition.

I absolutely love the design -- I don't think there is a name for that tang/heel design, it is just purely decorative, but, boy howdy does it make those blades stand out from the run of the mill sheffield wedge.

I've seen a W&B with the same heel/tang, unfortunately it was too far gone to be saved.
