Mirror, mirror on the wall, who has the most beautiful razor of them all? YMMV;)
John Sellers and Sons oblique point wedge,near full wedge, 6/8+. Ivory scales, metal spacer. Circa 1880-1900. from theinvisibleedge (blueprinciple)
I had to have it for fathers day! It looks like a super-subtle custom - but it's old:D and Old Ivory:D:D
I know Ivory is naughty, but I love it. Sorry Mr Elephant.
My Photography and greasey fingers don't do it justice.
Clean and sweet! Does it shave as good as it looks?
Yes it does. As bluepriciple said when I bought it, "it's one of those blades that doesn't feel very sharp, but if you run it up you arm - instant baldness"!
I had a shave as soon as it arrived, two passes and I was as clean as a whistle (I didn't try to get BBS as I'm not used to this razor), I also managed to get at the hairs either side of my Adams Apple for a change. More to do with the shape I think though.
He has two more very nice oblique points in his shop, If I come into money, I may very well buy one of them:w
don't worry about that elephant. it died a long time ago:w.Quote:
