I tend to focus my purchases on unusual and uniquely ground razors these days- and that is a cool one.

Very nice find!

Outback, is that my Mappin Lancet?

And for that matter, is that my former Wosty? :p

Man, you did a great job on that Wosty. Proof that it needed to go to you.

Did you find another one? I haven't seen any pop up for sale recently.

There is a fun factor when it comes to shaving with a less common razor. Glad it shaves well!

No, the last one I found in the razor clubs, thread. It was from a post, years past.

If you go to strazors.com and tap construction button at top it shows charts of razors and grinds. I believe this is a Full Concave.

I just purchased this Joseph Elliot from Bouschie.
Made 1821-1854

Now I'll see how many gullible people I can get to believe that the scales are also 165+ years old...

Just got my Joseph Elliot 13/16 with inlay from Bouschie today.

I would like to say thank you to everybody who didn't buy it when it was up for sale on this site.

It arrived a day late, but I blame that on the first snow of the season (we got about 8 inches here.)

Keep those blades hidden, Cheetah. In CA, blades over 5/8 are illegal! :nono:

Damn, I still want to someday have one of these "half rattlers" as they used to call them.

Definitely the most challenging grind at the time, and the result is gorgeous :)
