Mirror, mirror on the wall........
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
and Old Ivory
I know Ivory is naughty, but I love it. Sorry Mr Elephant.

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
