Less than common blade shapes...

**holli4pirating** · 05-06-2010, 01:26 AM

I have a Greaves with the top and bottom notches + barber's notch. Sweet blade to shave with.

I also just discovered I have a razor that is hollowed out like my W&B Diamond Edge, but only on the front of the blade.

Andy and Chef, I like the finger grooves too! Here's an odd W&B I picked up off eBay a few months ago, with the jimp-less finger grooves and diamond spine. But instead of a regular notched point, it has a notch at the top of the tip. Only razor I've seen with this weird notch:

I have a Torrey that has that same little notch at the top end of the spine. Don't recall the model off hand, but I think it's etched "Our Beauty." If I remember, I'll get some pics up tomorrow. The Torrey (I have seen another of the same model) and that W&B are the only ones I've ever seen with that little groove. Maybe it's there to make the razor harder to open (nyuk nyuk nyuk).

That is a pretty cool looking razor for sure

My Northfiels Rattler has a high notch but not that high haha

I just won a "Diamond Edge" cutlas style blade and eagerly awaiting it's arrival

(I have got to stay off Ebite for a while...)

I thought this old Elmo was a bit onconventional - there appears to be a strengthening rod of bronze-coloured metal running through the spine:

Great selection up already chaps!
Here's one from me. There's a lot of detail in this little 5/8. Ivory scales set it all off beautifully.

Neil, I'm pretty sure that is a safety/straight without the guard. The Genco Safedge (http://straightrazorpalace.com/srpwi...del_B%22_11/16) has a similar cutout behind the shoulder. I'm thinking the gaurd runs down to the edge back there, and the think on the end of the spine is where the guard pivots - or something like that.

Here's my Torrey. I'd forgotten she was shoulderless too...
