A Peerless pair
I have had the Ivory celluloid Wolstenholm "Peerless" 5/8 square point for some time. It is a great shaver and a nice looking razor. I came close to selling this when I saw the black round tip come up on eBay. I Bought the razor and brought these 2 together. I sharpened the round tip (which took off the black spot you see in the pic) and shaved with it last night. Same great shave.
The pics aren't great, but I was in a hurry to get that round tip honed and try 'em out.
I think they belong together.

I don't know if the makers intended them to be a pair, but since I now own them, I say they area pair.
Besides look at these 2 Wackers
One is a 1/4 hollow the other a wedge. One is a Spanish point, the other is a round point. One set of scales is blond horn the other is dark. If Herr Wacker can say those 2 are a pair, I can say mine are a pair. I even have a 2 razor storage case (in rough shape) I can put them in. They are like my 2 children, you can see they belong to the same family, but they are still different from one another.
They do shave pretty close to one another. Perhaps I need some more practice.

WOW! Im looking forwards to try also a Wacker! I just asked, since the razors are "almost twins", to try to know the diference in having one with 3 pins and other with 2...just curiosity

Very nice Wostenholms! I have never seen a bad one, and mine are all good shavers. Not hard to hone at all, either.
