I have a (possibly) well known antipathy towards post-1880 hollow-ground W&B razors. They're just not weird enough for me, okay?



I am not, however, made of stone!



This one can stay. Especially since it's amply demonstrated that it can clean up after itself.



All I've done is polish off the discoloration from three or four rounds of shaving cream. What you see is the condition I got it in. It was the closest thing I expect to get to NOS. The factory edge was just about as sharp as the razor I shaved with this morning, though it does have a tiny ding in the bevel and that kinda weird dent in the spine. There's no doubt in my mind this'll hone up and shave great... And I probably won't even shake my cane at it and its newfangled 'hollow' grinding.

With a belly no less! Oy! I'm really going on on a limb with this one.
