Thread: Geo. Wostenholm & Son 5/8 - Beautiful!

A beautiful example of a great brand Geo Wostenholm & Son! This piece of steel from Sheffield was just made to feel you feel pleasure in shaving… just like a hot knife cutting butter!

This beautiful square point, 5/8 Pipe razor, still has very visible the text "The original and only genuine pipe razor - Manufactured solely by - Geo. Wostenholm & Son - Mark-Granted-A-D-1694", then the pipe logo and in the back the brand as you can see in the pictures.. all very sharp and clear.

The blade is Shave Ready (for my taste). Honed with one layer of electrical tape on Naniwa Progression: Chosera 1k -> Aotoshi 2k -> Chosera 3k -> Chosera 5k -> Junpaku 8k, SS 12k, and finished in Suehiro Gokumyo 20K. Then stropped on 0.3micron CrOx -> 0.1micron FeOx,As -> Latigo leather -> Japanese Shell (40 laps each)…. As I said, comfortable shaving for me (that means, my beard, skin, technique etc…), but maybe some more stropping is required for your taste. No razor leaves if I have not tested, but no worries, after testing, blade is properly cleaned/disinfected and a thin coat of camellia oil is applied to protect it and safely packed for the travel.

I only use tracked post for sake and peace of mind of both parties (to be covered by buyer), but no worries! Regular International shipping to the US & Canada is only: $5 (30+ business days is what the post office give as estimate time, I’ve seen most of the times it takes less). If you want it faster, let me know and I can quote different speeds. International shipping rates to other countries might vary just a bit (1 or 2 bucks at the most), please contact me to check. Will do my best to ship the next day after payment but else, no more than 3 business days. Payment is expected within 24 hours after commitment.


Price: $75
