Thread: I hope it's not just shinny

Hone it up anyway, it might shave nice even with an uneven grind

I contacted the seller and they were very understanding and offered to refund for the razor. So in the mail it goes.

Glad to hear the seller is somewhat understanding. We can't always have a winner!

Sorry to hear that Roger. Hope you don't have a lot tied up in it. If you did, you can send it back saying it has been reground. I have a Fredericks that was reground a little more on one side than the other but it still looks pretty good. If I remember right, it has some pretty nice translucent horn scales.
Here's another I. Barber I have but it appears to be older & not an Old English. Also here is a pic of my G. Wostenholm Old English I have:

Agreed - wanting one of those as well, and that looks like a fine example....great catch rh, regrind or not!
