Thread: Can I get help with this razor? J. Wostenholhasons

This was a picture I pulled from online. I am not buying the razor in the picture but a near exact similar one in better condition with a wedge blade.

The EBRO mark was Joseph Wostenholm's.

That said, from a functional standpoint, assuming the same style blade, there's no real difference -- as there isn't between most of the old Sheffield manufacturers. Both Wostenholms made excellent razors.

Thanks for that bit of info, Zak! Explains a lot of what I did not know!

Joseph Wostenholm & Sons.

Is there any way you can get a picture of the one you're thinking of getting? If you can, we'd be able to give much better advice.

The ones I took came out quite blurry. I'll attempt to take another set when I go back to buy a few.
