Thanked: 603Wade & Butcher "Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor"
Back in 2006, I bought a few lots of "naked" blades on eBay -- among them, a goodly number of wedges, running from 9/16 to 7/8 (the majority being 5/8). A couple of years later, I bought some clear, plexiglass scales from a fellow SRP member (hat-tip to Soopercat). Although this particular blade was cleaned-up in 2009, it lay there with the others, wrapped in paper towel, and it wasn't until today that I honed-and-mated it with a pair of those scales. Here is a photo (I'll shave with it later this evening, and post on the current SOTD thread).
This one is a 5/8" blade, with a barber's notch and a wry smile; and, although stamped "Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor" on the spine, it's most definitely a near-wedge grind. Sadly, I never took any "before" photos
