Cleaned up nicely!
Enjoy those shaves with it.
:chapeau
Wonderful details, and great to see the razor came out in that condition.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy the shave!
Just finished the shave.
HOLY CRAP!
This is like nothing I have shaved with.
I see why they call it the reaper..
Darn thing sneaks up silently and KILLS whatever it touches INSTANTLY!
Huh ? I had one for a good while before I sold it and I never knew about that piece of wire ! ........ :thinking:Quote:

Pups.... Enlighten us please.....
Small razor as well, blade is about 4/8 on mine, overall a smaller razor in length I as well, but very nimble in the hand, and was an absolute joy to shave with, IMO, due to it's smaller size, seems you were forced to spend some more time on your shave, always a bonus, and you just seemed to end up with a BBS or near it every time.Quote:

Is it a 5/8 ? Mine was a 5/8 IIRC, and would've been maybe 11/16 but I had to hone chips out of it.Quote:

Looks like 11/16 on the toe and slightly smaller at the heel...Quote:

Sick of getting bit Phrank? :rofl2:
I'll stick with my Imperialist Sheffield steel......;)
I don't think I've ever seen one larger than 11/16. Maybe thebigspendur might know for sure. I've only seen maybe half a dozen in my long life, and only one up close and personal.Quote:

Oh man, you must have done like I did on a W&B FBU!!! Super cool score..............:beer1:
