I have learned that if you have several windows open it is really easy to post in the wrong thread. You thought I was doing it again. Don’t blame you, I have a track record.

New guy here.
This 13/16 W&B is on the way to me right now.
I love the look of these restored razors, can't wait for its arrival!
Karl does nice work. I think you will find that to be a fairly quiet shaver. The more hollow the grind of a razor, the more auditory feedback you get while shaving. The heavier grinds can be nearly silent.
I thought I would try a few different grinds to see what I prefer (and the "cool" factor of shaving with a vintage razor sealed the deal). Hopefully that near wedge will plow through my stubble. :D
Just bought an "Apart" razor hone. Looking forward to seeing how it does!
The cool factor should never be underestimated when looking at razors, and with vintage the function and form issue is never out of balance. Perhaps I should explain that. The functionality of a razor is its most important feature. Cool all by itself is kind of useless but cool and function combined is as good as it gets.
Just got my order from Bruno yesterday in the mail. It's a monster. I've only seen one razor bigger, but that is just TOO big for me. Mine was originally going to be about 1/16" bigger, but it didn't turn out that way. Pics coming soon in the Bruno Blade Club!
