That's a simple answer: Absofreakinglutely!

It is our passion for the better experience of wet shaving and exploring how good it can be that makes us a community.

Yeah that's the thing. Also for a good shave you don't need more than a small 4/8 or 5/8 razor. So why do people buy razors with a width of 7/8, 8/8 or larger? Often they don't even shave better. They just look more like a real knife though.

Well Gent's, I have 0ne coticule an La Veinette and am still working with it, the last on my list is a fair sized THURINGIAN, which I will not buy off Ebay, only from a Gent here who might have a Good one for sale. Feel free to PM me.

Hatzicho is right, the cool factor of the old W+B etc is not worth the $$ the average Ebay ripp off artist displays for 200 + $$.

If you want a wedge grind, and I stress wedge, anything under 13/16 handles really funky. But you can get a lot of really nice bigger blades for cheap on the bay.. You'll never go poor buying a reynolds or wostenholm... wostenholms are by and large better than butchers blade for blade anyway, imo. What is scaring you off, prices on thuris or gambling on unlabeled ones and getting something else? I am sure someone here can hook you up.

That thing's beautiful!

Thank you both for sharing. Awesome hones.

We need a 'Love' button in addition to the 'Like' button on posts like these. Beautiful stones, gentlemen. Enjoy!!!

You make some good points, I did watch a labled Escher go on ebay tonight for 99$ was a good buy. A Gent offered me a large stone for 4 bills, nice stone, just more than I can spend right now.

I have another stone from same old stock as Hatzicho.

Quite a prize, congratulations. Thank you for showing us sir.
