That is a more "modern" grind IXL. It will make an excellent shaver. Round pointed and with double stabilizers. I would say anything goes. Bone would be nice.
While we are here with this pic, see the top-heavy fraction on the razors scale? I have seen those numerous times. I suspect that was how honemeisters remembered the necessary strokes on coarse and fine hones. Any ideas?
When you say "Modern" you mean early to mid 1900's or still possible late 1800's?
Just curious, I bought this because it was CHEAP and I really wanted a Wustenholm, and it just feels right, once Glen puts new scales on it and shines/hones her up I expect she will be a fun shaver :)
Possible late 1800's. The box says England as I suspect the tang does. Post 1891. Could be 30 years newer though. The style is of later Wostenhom.
Ah well, would have been nice if it was 1800's but either way I've wanted a Wostenholm for a while so it was a good purchase...(Gotta feed the RAD somehow LOL)
Well, I got the razor back today and once again am impressed with the work Glen does :) I went with Horn (Glen had a set that happened to fit :) )
I present for your viewing pleasure, the finished Wustenholm :)
Note: I did not take these pics, Glen sent them to me after he finished working his magic on this beauty before he shipped it back to me :)
