Thread: 6/8 J. Wostenholm & Son 1/4 Hallow

Hi,

Here is my latest ebay find, a 6/8 J. Wostenholm & Son 1/4 Hallow Sheffield. It has almost no hone wear. The blade reads "The Celebrated hallow ground razor set ready for use."

These photos are before cleaning up. It came in, what I think is, Like new condition. I also honed it today. It took a really fine edge quickly. Just waiting for some whiskers to grow so I can take her for a test drive.

Nice score Mike. There really are some nice finds on the Bay once in awhile, eh?

Enjoy it

Very nice find Mike. i am sure it will shave well for many more years.

Hi,

Yes there are. Often you wade through junk up to your elbows. But they are there from time to time.

Hi Pete,

Thanks. I've been on a bit of a shopping spree these days. This was just a lucky find.

Looking good brother

Excellent score! That blade looks like new. Let us know how it shaves-looks like a fairly stiff grind and should mow down any type of stubble.

It's the smoothness & friendliness. I don't see a smile on the Wosty, but I'll bet you just LOVE that shave.

'Gorgeous Blade. 'Grats.

Hi,

I shaved with it today and yes, it plowed through the whiskers. It was a silent shave, not like the song my hallow grinds sing as I shave.

I think this is a keeper.

great score and very nice blade.
