Gents,
Could someone explain to me what a Wostenholm & Sons EBRO razor is
It was a model of razor produced by the Joseph Wostenholm and Sons factory called the Perseverance Works, and not by George Wostenholm and Sons. Here is a photo of my EBRO.

Are they a desirable vintage razor?
I don't know how desirable they are, but the one I have is one of only two razors that I have that consistantly gives the velvet squeegee effect.:)
Like anything collectible, it's a matter of personal preference. If you are seeking a quality Sheffield razor made between 1854 and 1867, it would be very desirable. If your interests lie elsewhere, then maybe not so desirable. To me this a very attractive razor, it shaves great and I like it very much. So, from my perspective, it is a VERY desirable vintage razor.
Regards - Walt

My definition of the velvet squeegee is a razor that is so smooth that you have to keep checking to make sure you are removing stubble.:DQuote:
