IME if you lather well they shave well. Seriously, being a wedge,this one was a bit of a chore to get shave ready but smooth as silk once I got there. It is the only copy of that model I've got but W&Bs are usually good razors IME.

Thanks for sharing the solution....next time I will try to make it a bit more difficult. Maybe a crossword puzzle next time. HOG

I've never figured out the digital camera thing but I'll see if I can work it out. It used to have a cornucopia etch but long gone. It's a very cool beastly shape - real big at the point and gets less slightly wide closer to the heel, but if you didn't know better you'd think it had the worst uneven hone wear in history but it's just a nifty old school shape. I think it's very old but the old black horn scales are in great shape. As often is the case with wedges, very comfy shave.

What an outstanding razor--especially those scales. Congratulations!

I have had the AI sample since some time now but didn't find it enticing enough after smelling it from the bottle. Decided to try it today and I can't stop smelling my hands.
