I don't see this maker in the SRP database. I also have not seen a production razor possessing all of these lines in one razor before. It's evident a lot of effort went into the making of this blade. Does anyone else have such a razor? It's my most favorite in my collection.

Oh, you're so lucky to have it! Awesome!
I can see why it's your favourite, that is a handsome looking razor.
Thanks for posting.

Great looking razor for sure, very curvy!

Thanks for that info. I see some early similarities to my B Worth in their No. 575. It's interesting to see such evolution.

Easy to understand why that would be a favorite Chris. I have not seen that profile before and she is a beauty.
Hardly a straight line to be seen, just smooth curves for a very handsome looking blade.

Wow, that one is a curvey British Liz Hurley of a razor!
Certainly a very elegant blade, isn't it? B. Worth and Sons was one of the trademarks of the Himsworth family, of 'The Story of Cutlery' fame. Distant relatives of mine.
Absolutely stunning! Congrats!!

I got also a B. Worth, must be a No.575, a wonderful 1/2 Hollow Shaver :-)
Here is my B. Worth. 5/8 near wedge. It is the closest thing to a true wedge I have seen yet. Haven't gotten around to cleaning it up yet. Actually looks better in person, but the picture is horrible. No where near as nice as the sway back, but hoping it will turn out decent.

I really like that one.
Chris - I copied a picture of your Worth a couple years ago when you showed it off then. It's still on my desktop! One of the sexiest razors ever.
Wow! That's one nice flowing razor! The jimps are fantastic!
