    Default Wosti IXL with scalloped spine

    I picked this 7/8 Wosti off eBay awhile ago as a bare blade. Near wedge with a nice smile. Lots of pitting but it cleaned up. The scales are smokey brown translucent horn .110 thick with brass beehive collars and a lead wedge. It has a nice balance in the hand and provided a very smooth shaving experience.
