I love 'em. I've had 'em for some time now & just got lucky with the bidding at the time.

Yes this remembers me. I go to use my pipe razor this week. :) thanks.
My $30 IXL Wostenholm arrieved this past weekend.
I really like the look of it and it seems to be in pretty decent shape.
I don't know if the scales are original though - they seem to be plastic but not 100% sure.

One thing I noticed - and when looking at other IXL branded razors is that the logo on this blade almost doesn't fit on the blade.
I wonder if the blade has been reground and lost a bit of steel on the edge - or, if this is just how the stamps sometimes were applied?

Not too bad. Has some slight hone wear but no one used tape on the spine back in the day...............nice Wosty.
