Mike, If you were forging old Sheffield steel found in a bunker someone would cry the hammer was not 200 yrs old, or the old bird swinging it wasn't an Englishman lol




Love my old W&Bs but modern methods and materials will produce a superior product. Luckily there are plenty of old ones kicking around if the new W&B isn't someones cup of tea.


I look forward to my Irontusk, will grab one asap.

Gotta agree with you on all of your points. Gotta love the passion of the traditionalists [said with no ill intent] too. Wet shaving is innately traditional, and I think that is why we love it so much, and why many are quick to criticize.

I also love my collection. I am however, open to new concepts, new manufacturing techniques etc... I can see why people are looking at the use of the W&B name as a cash grab. IMO, you can say the same thing about some of the antiques out there. I've seen some pretty crappy blades with a fattened price tag simply because its an antique W&B.
