New eBay find!
I'm a Mason and have been looking for a Masonic W&B in good shape for a long time. I finally found the one, and at a good price too. Hope she shaves as well as she looks!

Nice grab. I was looking at one recently. Just trying to save some bucks right now. On my to do list for sure.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Nice score! It looks like the acid etch version. It also appears to have little hone wear. Finding one with little hone wear is the key! W&B also made a stamped version which I believe are harder to find, but I have one. I also have a Frederick Reynolds acid etched one that is in excellent shape except for a very minor water spot. I cleaned it up a little but I set it aside for now so I can dig out a set of good scales for it because the original ones were broken. I also would like to try & get the rest of the water stain off of it. The W&B needs some minor work also like delaminating scales.

Thanks gents! I'm a bit nervous about honing it. I'm not very good at honing wedge razors, but I'm hoping this one will be the exception.

Great score for a Brother in the frozen North.

What a find!
If you are not experienced in honing, I would send it to a pro because those wedge type blades can be tricky to hone.

Ernie is right. A wedge is a little more difficult to hone unless it only needs refreshing. Originally Posted by Ernie1980
