Not sure why the pipe logo but there was a trademark infringement dispute over it I believe.

Here's a Wosty you'll probably never see again.

A 8/8 commemorative from the 1850s commemorating the Know Nothing Movement.

As far as I know the only one of it's kind.

Wow! That's awesome Paul!

Thanks John. It shaves like butter too. Sheffield razors are famous for their edge from the coticule and this one is the best example I have ever shaved with. It feels like it is literally wiping the whiskers away.

It’s been mentioned before that Sheffield razors and coticules seem to fit. I wonder what it is about the steel that makes that so.

I'm sure there's an explanation at a level of material science that I don't understand. I have just heard it said and so trying it found it to work well.
