New Bow Razor
I'm really proud of this new one... It is in excellent condition. I may use some mild steel wool and Blue Magic to clean up the stains on the tang. Or I may not. The scales appear to be black horn (I'm no expert) and are in great shape too. The edge needs a touch up on the hones but is otherwise good. Can't wait to shave ith this one.
Smarter than I look or, not as dumb as I look. Whichever you prefer.

I have one too, they seem to shave well and hone well. Yours looks like it is without any issues and should provide for some excellent shaves.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

1 has a Bow stamp only on the tang & is definately horn

Hell Dave, you're getting to be a regular now! You've got it........................you have R.A.D.
A W&B Bow was my very first straight I ever won on the bay!

It's true. I stayed away for over two months and then decided to have a little look see at what was selling, it never hurts to look right?, and in ten days I had bought five razors. Yeesh. Originally Posted by engine46

Besides Steve, aquiring another nice W&B doesn't indicate a problem, it's just common sense right? Originally Posted by engine46

Yep, I've done much reading here on SRP to learn what to look for... This forum and the folks here are a great resource for all things SR. Originally Posted by engine46
