Lovely looking blade - delicate curves and a smile to match. Those etchings are also fantastic, very nice find all around!

To be fair, it wasn't really a find as such. Bought it from Bob's Razors so it wasn't cheap but a Bob does sell very nice kit and I was struggling to find anything near as nice as this one and it has had very little done to it other than a good clean. I have another W&B on its way which is also original condition so I will post that one up when it gets here.

Hahaha...all is fair...it's a great blade in great condition, obviously honed up well...I don't mind putting out some extra cash if I know I'm getting quality work, and quality work is worth paying for.

Very true. I've bought a couple of razors from Bob and they are always fantastic condition and honed to perfection. My Red Point from Bob is my go to straight at the moment

Looks great, I'm sure it shaves like a beast.
