I bought this one because I loved the looks of it. I'm planning on having it honed and using it. I don't think I will do any restoration other than a careful cleaning of the spine and tang.

Very nice!
Nice, nice, nice, nice.
Would be interesting to know the age of them, being stub tails. Love the scales on your one Mrchick, would look great with a nice shiny bevel and nothing more.
Thanks. I've heard 1830-1850. I'm still researching. I agree. Rust removal and a bevel will be it.Quote:

Nice looking razor. Great pick up. Nothing like a Wostenholm the most under rated razor out there. Show some pictures when you finish. Good luck.
Thanks. I will.Quote:
