Thread: 3/8 Razor

I have been meaning to post this one, but completely forgot about it. It was sent to me as a gift when they found out I was into straight razors. It is a 3/8 near wedge (or atleast it is now) and tapers down to about 5/16 at the toe. The hone wear is 1/32. When I first looked at it I thought it was honed alot. At first I figured it was originally a 4/8, but not so sure now. The tang is 3/32 wide and about 1/4 tall. Even my tiny 4/8 Henry Sears & Son that I got rid of had a tang that was taller. I had to take a wire brush to the tang to read it. Marked: Imported By WmBrokhahne 298 Canal New York. I am still thinking it was originally a 4/8, but either way I am really wanting to shave with this little thing. I have seen some manufactured 3/8 razors and have been wanting one so this will work for now. Here is hoping that it will hone up and let me shave with it.

Judging by the scales id say it wasnt much bigger to begin with, good ol slim moustache razor :beer:

That is what I was thinking. Maybe 4/8 at the most. Just have to soak the scales and give them a sanding, a polish and then I get to hone it and shave with it. I'm looking forward to it.

My first thought was to say it's "cute" but then I realized I'm talking about a very manly instrument and "cute" wouldn't be appropriate.
