Any wostenholm will do and you can see we have several stypes already... mainly pipes and "IXL"... because if you have a wostey YOU EXCELL!

Genuine Pipe Razor. I'm not sure if the scales are original or not.

I have a couple of Pipe razors tucked away here. The "Very Neat" was my first purchase after I decided to go back to a straight razor, and doesn't get used near enough... In all actuality I believe that these Wostenholm razors are the most underrated of the Sheffields.... Shhhhhhhhhh lets keep it that way..... :D
This is a plain jane 5/8 pipe razor....

And then my 5/8 "Very Neat" Pipe razor, this one is the blade I usually will lend to someone who wants to "Try" a Straight razor... With the slight swayback and a smile to match this is a very forgiving shaver.....

Should this be moved to the Razor Clubs section?
Can anybody explain "IXL"?
This was the razor I first shaved with. I really need to restore it, but will do that later as it's being honed by Str8trazor at the moment. It's a George Wostenholm and Sons IXL.

I'm a sucker for most of the major Sheffield makers. Here are a few of my Wostenholms.
Those are all nice Blair - but that Peerless! WOW!!! :tu
