I would say your collection is big enough for a museum

Hey,
Hopefully this qualifies. I know its not vintage, but its my version of a stubtail and it shaves really well!

Thanked: 262 8/8 Westenton & Son 'Again Superior'
Here is one of my stubby's. It is a huge razor. 8/8 1/2 hollow, about 1/2" longer than any other razor I have. If I put it up against a normal razor, it simply dwarfs them.
I got a hair to clean this guy up this week. It had a pretty black tang, a fair blade with some patina and pitting. It was already in these handmade wood scales. I don't know the type of wood, but they are huge, to go along with the huge blade.
I sanded and polished her up as well as possible, but I wasn't going to go to crazy near the spine, as it has very little hone wear on it. I wanted to keep it that way too!!
It has a nice smile, but was a dream to hone. After the full regimen on the stone, this old sucker was launching hairs like nothing. She is truly one of the gems of my collection. For a 200 year old razor, not too bad.
Here is a pick of my Westonton & Sons "Again Superior".
Enjoy!

I would humbly like acceptance into this club with my latest acquisition....one J. Elliot. I haven't gotten it yet, but it's been shipped.

For MJHAMMER: Believe the scales are lacewood. I have made several sets of scales using this wood and they turn out beautiful and strong. Great stubby. FYI,
Buy Lacewood 3 8 x 3 x 24 at Woodcraft
