Just saw this thread and thought I'd bring it around again....

I am definately a recent convert to Wostenholm. Bought a 'Washington Works' (1848-1891) I-XL wedge recently (actually, I've seen it described as 1/8 hollow) that is perhaps my most comfortable shave. I also recently got a 'Rockingham Works' (~1826-1847) I-XL full hollow on the cheap that is in the process of being cleaned up and honed. No original scales on this one, but it is one beautiful razor with beautiful lines.
