    Default What do you make of this?



    The guy says it's manufactured by 'Mab and Co' but I think that's the vendor. is it my eyes or does that not look quite right?

    It looks like a quite common design, although the reflection makes it appear odd.We need a closeup.

    you're probably right, it must be the diagonal reflection playing tricks on my eyes.

    I'm half tempted . . .

    I would also say, it's heavy worn at the toe.

    I suspect some one is selling it and they sent you a photo (makes you wonder why they didn't send you a closer photo so you could better determine the condition), have then send you a closeup photo of the blade only.

    No, I just came across it on ebay and couldn't decide if it was worn at the toe or the light was playing tricks on my eyes. I'm still not sure. I'm not THAT bothered either way, to be honest, I just wondered.

    I'll ask for a close up all the same.

    EDIT: I stand corrected, I just pulled mine out and the shape seems natural. I will post a pic shortly.
    Yes... please do post a pic. I welcome the opportunity to learn something new.

    That looks a nice razor.

    I bought the ebay one, here's hoping it's in ok nick. What do they say about curiosity?

    Ahhh!... The value of a good close-up.
    Now you see... the hump back exaggerates the effect.

    Thanks
