George Butler Shakespere ART
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.

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 LostIt's a good life and someone has got to live it.

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.
