Wow Sharp, you've got a few razors don't you? I love that second blade's scales (in the post immediately above).
Peace,
Jim

Thanks, Pastor Jim! How's the Park Lane and the F1? Those scales are of brass which was once silver plated. Some silver remains on one side. It is the "perfect razor"! Shaves like a real good dream! I put it on display to give all others a chance! As you can see, it has nice balance. Note the grease under the thumbnail!

Thanked: 110 Here is my humble stable
These are just a few quick picks:
First up is a restoration from Harvitz. It is a 13/16 half hollow
Next is a nice (see the smile!) slight swayback 13/16 full hollow. Again restored by Harvitz
And my favorite: A 7/8 regrind in near-wedge. This is my best shaver (for now
)
They may not be much, but they are mine...

I can see how that smiler is the best! They made some great ones! Nice pile! Originally Posted by coachschaller

Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is that a double grind? Originally Posted by sharptonn

I shaved with my little WB this morning. She needs some TLC on the hones, but a good little shaver.
I ran across another one in an antique shop a couple weeks ago. They wanted 17 for it; black plastic scales and a blade shaped like the letter S and ground down so thin it'd be about a 1/8 razor once you corrected the smile/frown combo. I think I offended the guy when I laughed when I opened it up, but that poor thing was so abused. It's good to return here and see a sizable population still in good order!
Peace,
Jim
P.S.>>The PL's in need of a new flexplate, but I've finally got dough to do it. The F-1 I took on a six hour round trip a few weeks ago. She could use some TLC, but there never was a more faithful ride.

Hi,
this is my first visit in this great forum.
I would like to present to you my new-old W & B.
Does anyone know details about such razors?
Best
Eberhard

That is some of the cleanest most prestine etching I have ever seen on an old W&B ( I think I have a chubby). How does that beauty shave?

Hi I've never seen any etchings like this on W&B.
Maybe it is got something to do with the selling.
The things from India been very popular in England in the early 19th century.
Anyway enjoy it!
