Thank you sir. A fine addition. :tu
Here are some more. My W&B's. The one with the "grainy" look is pretty close to a wedge and about 8/8 at the widest. The "Barber's Use" is just about a full hollow and a bit shy of 8/8 at the widest. I was going to let one of them go, but I decided to keep both of them. I might clean up the "Barber's Use," but I like the wedge the way she is.
This one has been a great shaver. I didn 't know if I should post this with the framebacks or the French blades. But then this "club" showed up. Since I have blades for those other caregories . So, this one ges posted here.
I like the patina on this one and wouldn't want to lose it. I like the way it contrasts with honed edge.
It's only Marking is HB 510
Luvvin ' these blades guys :y Keep em commin'
My ye olde J Allen & Son's . Fake patina with a little cold blue paste.
A couple more honings & she's a full wedge. Killa smooth shave - like a DD Satin Wedge on steroids.
These count? I like em with some age and miage on em :D
I reckon so Chef. Like the top n bottom thumbnotch critter.
Just realised they're nearly all Buff horn so far too.
Some Ivories or Tortoiseshells etc would round it out a bit but whatever, it's all good.
Hey ! blondes are cool too. :p
I think most scales are blonde horn dyed black but I lurrvve black Asiatic Buff horn.
:tu
Just keep em trickling in folks. Don't wanna get spoilt here :D
ARRGGHH!! Just started (ok started again) on the Clark and Hall oldie (1790's) and noticed s bit of rot in the edge that will require at least 1/8" of edge removal... I really don't want to remove so much metal from the edge of such an old piece... but I also really want to shave with it... /cry As I think on it I believe I stopped working on it last year because I found the problems and didn't want to deal with it at the time... Now I just have to make a decision as to what I want to do with it...
... sell? :D
