Second one shouldn't count Bloomsbury is in London a long way from sheffield. but the first one counts and they both look like mighty fine razors which counts the most! Thanks
Thank you for the information BertyBloggs!
Here is my humble contribution to the club, a W&B which I resently rescaled in translucent horn; it dates bact to the 1860 and it is a near wedge and shaves as if just bought from the store.HOG
