    Default After reading this forum for a little bit, I think I did okay>>>

    just fished this out of the 'bay for $26.00...George Wostenholm&Son pipe razor...new Dovo scales, etc.



    If I did a bonehead move, please be gentle, I am a beginner

    Looks good to me. You might want to send it out for pro honing. I like my Wostenholm pipe very much.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I think you got a good deal. Now, let a pro honemeister do the honing...

    Default I Think I Did Okay

    Hello, TMK:

    An excellent find. I must also agree with everyone else to send the razor out to a professional hone master. You might as well begin on the right foot — with a well honed razor.

    Regards,

    Obie

    as far as honing goes, I bought another razor at an antique shop...Romo from NYC...Soligen blade, etc. and I bought a set of Norton Waterstones 220/1000 and 4000/8000 and honed the other blade myself...still getting the hang of it but I have been shaving with it for a few weeks now and it is 1000% better than the Luxor Pro...whoever told me that in my last post was RIGHT!

    Uh ohhh, this is going to be another addicting collectible, isn't it

    Regards, Ted

    Great find. Send it out as the others have said. That's not a blade to experiment on. Once again, great find.

    Heh. Sorry, that one's so nice, see what someone who knows what they're doing can do with it before you experiment. (30 days means nothing, they count in razors here, whatever, just send that baby out, you won't regret it).

    Wosty pipes are great razors. That one will need a fair bit of work, unless the wavy edge is just the picture...
