You're right about it being a very interesting and unusual blade.

Well that is a standard length, so it must be original from the factory. Looking at it I'm even more convinced then I ever was that these notches are to facilitate trimming under and around the nostrils. Those of us that have a mustache, and don't just let it grow wild, know what I'm saying.

Beautiful razor. Well done.

Yes, this was a style of point that has a number of examples floating around.

Just take a look at some of the styles here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...splay-set.html

Thanks Science guy for confirming the style of point! I was hoping you or Zak would chime in on this...

Cheers, I missed that thread, I just had a funny feeling in my special place

Beautiful restore those scales are just stunning.

Very nice work once again, inlay transfer, pinning, very professional work. These Wade & Butcher with the little bit longer skinny tails sure are from that time period. Enjoy!
