Actually, blade profiles like this allow for a lot of finesse with how you approach your face. I have some early 1800s blades as well as french framebacks with similar shape and I enjoy it.

IDK...

GSSIXGUN will probably take some nice photos if I had to guess. I think the heyday of the real giants were 1860s-1870s, though someone can correct me on that if I am off. I think this is most likely...

Work has officially begun.

Glen has it in hand and we had a chat tonight about it. Going to do new scales in horn and give it a nice satin finish. Feeling very good about the plan of action.

This is off today to gssixgun for a facelift, and maybe or maybe not a new dress. Stay tuned....

It's really blatant when you put it next to genuinely large blades and it makes them look tiny.

I knocked the corrosion that had texture off of the spine, blade faces and tail. Condition of steel beneath is really excellent. I also had a crack at measuring it again having used a tape measure to...

Might as well put this up here as well. I try to document all the cool shaving-related stuff I get on my YT channel. Have some fun early in the video hiding an everyday item behind it, protecting...

As far as posh scales go, this is probably the one material I genuinely like. It's still primarily dark, but it has visual texture to it.

They are actually quite cool in person. They need to be tweaked slightly. I think I'm just going to let Glen sort it out. I'm fine working on most pieces by hand myself, but I'd prefer if this were...

Forgot to show the grind. Major no no with the wedges, I know...

I don't much care for tricked out scales. I do like black horn with white streaks, and I like ghost jade g10, but on the whole I like maintaining originality. I have no idea on the scales, but they...

The balance is perfect. I need to borrow a gram scale.

Finally arrived from the estate sale! So excited, the lot stickers didn't even come off yet! I had to liquidate 7 nice razors to pay for this, but oh man...... George Wostenholm & Son Celebrated...
