    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
