    Default Wosty find

    Found this guy at a local dealer, never had one like this. It has geo wostenholm & sons doubly carbonized IXL razor faintly etched on the blade (not sure if it can be seen in the pics).
    In pretty good shape just soem nicks near the toe. Pretty stoked as my renos are nearing an end ant the missis and I are now out o fht ebasement and back in the bedroom. My straights are no longer hidden at the back of the spare room so I can get at them and start using them again. So far hav ent had time but I expect saturday ill have a nice shave before work.

    You got yourself a mighty fine shaver, Alan. You'll soon see why I love me Wosties.

    Those scales look good, easily restored, too. Should come out a real looker. Enjoy.!

    I love the look of that razor. The patina and wear all scream History! to me. I like that stuff.
    Great buy.
