    Default B Worth Sheffield Sway Back Hump Back Tang Smiling Blade

    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.

    Thanks for posting.

    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.
