    looks like it's going to be a fine shaver!

    is that water or oil on the blade?

    I am obsessed with sheffield razors but as you may know they are difficult to work with sometimes, the razor piviot is off and so try as I might the razor falls to one side on closing I just gave up and since it doesnt touch the inside I called it done. I may take it apart and re drill the piviot.

    Well, crud. I finally got my hands on a Tally Ho, thinking that would cause the RAD for old wedges to subside. Then you had to post pics of this blade.

    Guess I'm going to start another hunt...

    Nice !! Bet it shaves great.
    btw, have you read this re centering ? May be of help.
