Well for what I know these seem to fall from around 4/4 to ones nearly 6/8. The one I restored was just a tad over 5/8. I've only done one of the 7 I have and I just gave this one to a friend who did me a favor.
I generally like larger blades but this one just did the trick for me.
Now I may be crazy but this steel just seems harder. May be a higher Rc. But when honing it next to the DD it was totally different. The edge came up differently.
I digress . But as I said these little jewels seem to fall on the smaller size . Tonight I'm doing an Aro and it too has a harder steel and is fairly small overall. I'm sure it'll be a great little blade once it gets Gold plated and the "spa" treatment.
Not sure if this helped you,
Wow, as a railroad engineer, I'd really like to have one of these!
Not too difficult to find in various states of condition. Grab one and give it a go.
Sorry about that. These I'd say fall in the 3/4 + range.
Such a gentle curve that not much in the way of a shoulder is created. Guess that's why I liked it and why it acted like it did. Makes it solid feeling for a fairly small razor.
Excellent work. Love the minimalist restores!
