Had this sitting around for awhile

Had this old meat chopper and this paddle strop w/ a razor storage compartment laying around for the longest time.Finally got them both ready for action.The razor is a Wosty ,full 15/16 quarter wedge I would say.It had beat scales so I replaced them with these scales from anther Wosty.The strop was also a beater,so I re- leathered it.The red side has some vintage Rolls strop dressing and the other I was going to put Chromium Oxide,thanks to Chris L,right now it is treated with a few drops of Budwiser beer,I lest it out during one of my beer sessions

I love the looks of this razor,but wedges aren't for me.Still debating whether to put it on the chopping block as a set.I shaved with it once with alsome results,but I like full hollows better.

The storage feature is certainly novel. I'm surprised it was never drilled for hanging, very nice.

it's a nice razor and if you want to keep one wedge for a variety it's a pretty good choice. or you can have somebody else who'd appreciate it more have it. can't go wrong either way.

I agree... it is a pitty to grind a nice wedge like that just because you don't fancy them as much. Sorry to say so... but it the blade required a grinding to extend it's life I would understand but it is fine! A IXL razor is a nice razor...
The strop is great! And the little drawer for the razor is really a novel thing. Looks very nice! Great find!

Big Al:
Thast is pretty slick the way that one works my friend... Nice restore on the strop too, the razor of course looks just fine....

Wow!

(Where's the 'I'm-green-with-envy-smilie' or the 'bowing-down-both-handed' one?)

I love that one too!! I think Alex has way to many razors, and can make his own, give me a shot

I only have two shave ready razors right now
