Thread: whats the hype about

I don't think it's as much hype as just being a widely recognized name. I'm not partial to the name itself but I will say that I'm selling all but two of my straights, one of Which happens to be a W&B. (Celebrated Feather Edge)
Wishing you the best of shaves with yours :-)

Well it arived today. I can't believe the condition its in considering the pictures, I was expecting it to have atleast some issues but nothing but patina! It has even bevel and hone wear on both sides. I also wasn't expecting it to be as wide as it is, was thinking maybe 6/8" from pics. It is a true wedge and it measures 30/32 of an inch. It has an eagle with a flying flag on each side, it has writing underneath, from what I can make out it says "FREEDOM PROTECTED". Needless to say I'm very happy with this purchase, and I'm looking forward to honing it up and shaving with it.

Regards

where did that W&B come from?? I didn't see that on the bay april 10, and I've been looking...ten dollars! That razor'd be in my pocket right now...lol anyways, enjoy! You just got a STEAL my friend!

I do have one question though. Is there any way to bring out the etching/frosting so it is more visible? I was thinking about giving it a very light polish with some Flitz, but I'm not sure if this will harm it. Any advice?

Regards
Louis.

Flitz will work fine . I use it all the time , with great results .

It won't hurt/wash away the frosting?

It should be an etch, in which case you'd be fine using a normal metal polish. Post a picture and we'll know for sure -- it was hard to see anything in those eBay images.
