My brother salvaged this from somewhere years ago that he isn't sure of, possibly my late great uncle, and then he promptly put it in storage. He recalled having it several months ago when I started with straights, and yesterday he finally gave it to me:
Definitely the heftiest razor I now have.

Not everyone gets to have an heirloom piece. It's a nice one too.

Neat-o. A Wostie with 10x more pedigree than all my razors combined.

Sweet piece of family history, and a pre 1900 British beaut, to boot.
They are great shavers. Enjoy!"Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."

its a 10/8, so it has a big presence. Shaves incredibly well - I just needed to put it to the strop for a few minutes and it was ready to go.
My descent into old crustiness is, according to some of those around me, already beginning....Wullie likes this.
