Today, after shaving with a straight razor for about four months, I finally got a really good shave on all areas of my face. I used the Wosty Pipe razor, which is certainly over a hundred years old. Does anybody else use one?

Outstanding Razor!
George is the best, IMO.
I got lots of Wosty's in all sizes in my collection.
Here's an interesting Pipe.

It's a contract razor but has the Wosty stamp on the reverse/non show side

Great razor
Yes I have one that belonged to my great-grandfather and one I bought and honed. Shave with both of them . Both shave very well. Glad you are getting along well with the straights they are rewarding and a lot of fun. Enjoy.
For your pleasure.

Unlike the Pipe Razor, there was the IXL brand. Way more styles and grinds were done, than in these next few pics.
