    Recently restored this one. It has a couple of blemishes but not worthy of chasing. The more I look at this one the more I admire the craftsmanship. Fabulous lines and exquisite grinding.

    I can't find a single flaw in it. The bellied hollow grind is perfect and has a fantastic edge. An outstanding piece of work and an excellent shaver.

    I like that blade A LOT! One of the prettiest, most unique WB's I've ever seen.

    Thanks Aaron. I think I am most impressed with the jimping on the spine and how the grind around it looks so precise. Although I appreciate different things everytime I look at it.

    On the later Sheffield made razor they had the very hollow and bellied hollow grinds down pretty good. I have a couple of late made Sheffield razors that shave well and hollow enough to sing. Enjoy your fine W&B.

    Nice razor. A little gold rub-n-buff would make those scales pop.
