I knew nothing of these razors before this. I believe I have seen these blades at an antique store in the past. I will surely be keeping an eye open for these blades now. Very cool!

Damn Hirlau, give some of us a chance! J/K
Good for you! If it falls through I have a few straights, DE's or SE's I'd be happy to trade.
Why is it I can have absolutely no interest in DE's and yet be jealous here.
A couple of advertisement for Wade Butcher Curved Blades.

Yes but you need to have the correct blade for the given razor to start with.Quote:

I have an unopened 5 pack which is going to remain that way. I did take my unopened 1 blade pack and tried to shave with it. No luck with that on my face. I took a shot at honing it on a regular stone and it is too difficult, IME, to maintain a correct angle. I might try slurry in a water glass and see if the curve in the blade might match the curve in the glass.Quote:
