Thread: Wedge razor club

My W & B 5/8's NOS is first. Next is an M. J. Higgins 6/8's and next is my Wade, Wingfield and Rowbotham 6/8's round point! I don't want to over whelm any one so that will be it tell tomorrow!

so here are some large-ish wedges

top to bottom: 15/16 Josepgh Rodgers and sons, 13/16 f. Fenney "Tally Ho", 7/8 Brookes and Crookes "Tower Razor", 13/16 J.A. Allen and sons

all in their original horn scales not beautiful but i like them!

and here are some of the smaller ones, they are also all in their original scales. the Abrams and Bowdins both have identical stampings of 2 wedges and a hammer... my guess is that they were made by the same German Razor maker.
these are all stellar shavers.

top to bottom
9/16 Giesen & Forsthoff "Adoration Ax" model 292
5/8 Pearlduck "Dubl Duck Satin Wedge"
9/16 G.D Abrams & Sons "Our Wedge Handmade"
5/8 Bowdins Wedge "Hand Made"

saw the name of the thread and thought you had started a club for "new" razors. I was looking for the modern stuff. This is a lot prettier tho.

Maybe we can find a moderator to rename the thread to wedgie thus avoiding further confusion

Here are some more pieces of Sheffields finest! they are all 13/16 or larger

Marshes and Shepherd.. 15/16 shoulder ot edge
Wostenholm 7/8

Here is my Marshes and Sheperd (sp) Wedgie I also have a Bell, Belfast wedgie but haven't made scales big enough for it it's huge...

OMFG!! (and I hate using these interweb abbreviations so you know it's serious) JMS your W & B 5/8's NOS is such a sexy razor I almost printed it out and kept it between my mattresses.

My Wade and Butcher 13/16 and a C-Mon that a gave to my little brother. I have another smaller Butcher but no pics of it right now

I had just an older W&B wedge restored by Steve over at Razorsharpening UK. Was not able yet to take my own pictures and post them here on SRP.
Anyhow, you can catch a glimpse of it under the "Before & After" section of theinvisibleedge here: Restored custom razors
Scroll down to the last razor of the page. The first photos are "before" and when you scroll over them, you'll see the "after". It's amazing what one can do with an old straight which was bought for 10 bucks on the bay..
