Interesting notes:

They are both model 194 as shown on the tang, but my NOS Worldmaster I bought from Shavingshop is a big 13/16 width, the new one is a standard 5/8 (not much hone wear either).

The Shavingshop Worldmaster has a bit of a humpback to the tang, the new one, not so much.

The really cool difference is that the Shavingshop one is made from "Kayser Ellison silver steel ", the new one is made from:


The new one also has cool three pin scales with a little Worldmaster emblem with what looks to be a little guy riding a razor?

This thing is gonna hit the hones and shave my face this very evening!

Thanks FaPat5!!!

Both very nice.I prefer the black scaled razor!!!

Beautiful razors. I just love the brand name "Worldmaster" - makes me want to shave with one. The ones I've seen tend to have bold styling as well.

Anybody who has the stones to name their product Worldmaster probably crafted it right!

Weltmeister or Worldmaster is the brand from Otto Busch from Solingen - Wald.

Beautiful blades... not only do they look good they are awesome shavers.

The feel I get from the world master is complete different than any other carbon steel I have experienced on a str8..

I was wondering how they shave since I am considering buying one, any additional input appreciated.

Here is the other question that I have, if you came across one 13/16, like those in Shavingshop in unused condition but with plastic scales that you knew are not the original, would you pay, let's say $100 for one? Also, input appreciated here.

Al raz.

They shave excellent! I have one. It's my favorite razor so far. Outshaves my Thiers issard most of the time.

Offcourse I got mine for €15 in a secondhand shop.

I have to agree it does shave a better than a TI, and as for the price I got mine off eBay for a price so low I am ashamed to say...
