Here's a guy who is creating his own W&B model names. Since it looks like a 'Barber's Use' but isn't marked 'Barber's Use', and since the blade is smaller it must be a 'Baby Barber's Use'. It appears he is trying to tie this standard W&B blade to the more popular model for the sake of increasing its value. False advertising I calls it.

He tells a good tale. He does admit that that is what WE call it. Whoever WE is. As my grandfather used to say "he must have a mouse in his pocket" , therefore making a WE.
I wouldn't call it false advertising. Just more words than necessary. Misleading? Possibly. Trying anything to increase sales value? Yes. Wrong? Not that I could justify.
He's just looking for two people gullible enough to buy his fib and start bidding against each other.
There are more than enough factually wrong assertions in his long-winded descriptions to make anybody, who's been around for a bit, be cautious.
Apparently the strategy sometimes works - last month he sold a pair of pitted engstrom framebacks for over $300 - got a ding on his rating over the honing though.
I actually like that razor more than a FBU (maybe cause I already have a set of FBUs...).
