Ebay impulse buy..Wostenholm frameback
OK, all the talk of these Wostenholms today got me to do a quick bay search.
With three minutes left, I was only only bidder (usually tells me I shouldn't be buying something) for a Wostenholm frameback. It has a good deal of rust, we'll see how it polishes up. I'll probably try to remove what I can, hone it, and if it shaves well, send it out for a real restore. The edge looks like it should be OK....I think. We'll see about that pivot area.
For 56 bucks shipped, and with a "freebie" other razor that I barely even looked at, (the Clauss edge looks like there might be edge rust...might make a bread-knife hone experiment razor) who knows, it might not have even been too stupid....
