Got this off eBay. It is 5/8", nicely finished. Will use it on my next shave. Came honed and stropped by the seller.

Just did my first shave with this new blade. Stroped her up, towel on the face, good lather in the bowl. Oh man, she shaves; I mean really shaves. Better than my experiences with my Bismarck. Certainly a keeper.
good to hear. i've got one of these that needs the edge refinished, cant wait to get it fixed up.
what number is stamped on the back of the shank?
Here it is:

BTW, just what does that number mean?
Beautiful razor. I love Shakespere and love the razor. Enjoy!
Very cool! What does the etching say? I couldn't read it even with my nose mashed against the computer.
It reads:
"KEEN as is this razor's edge invisible." It is a quote from Shakespere's Love's Labor Lost
i havent been able to find any real information on what the numbers signify. however, it appears that the model numbers correspond with different shapes and lengths. the one i have is a no. 1 1/2, which is a spanish tip.
Nice razor, and I'm glad she's a shaver!! :rock:
Nice razor. I had a Butler, is a good razor. This piece looks biggest like 5/8.
Thanks zozo. Yes, it is just a tad over 5/8. She is a good shaver.
