    Do the markings actually mean anything or are they just pseudo-characters?

    No one we know has been able to make any sense of the characters. LOL

    Dennis I noticed the grind, blade shape, tail, and markings are different on ours too. It would be interesting to know how many different types were made by W&B.

    Nice haul Dennis, I'm just wondering how you have the time to travel 100 miles each way to find these razors when you should be cutting hair
