I won this on eBay last week and it arrived Saturday. The blade is huge, a full 7/8" and thick. The grind appears to be a near wedge. The scales are artificial tortoise shell.

Hmm, I can't see a clear view, but that is a pretty unique looking spine. Is it a diamond spine? Very nice.
Here's a better shot of the spine. I've never seen another like it.Quote:

That's so if you get an itch while shaving, you don't have to break concentration to scratch it.

I've got a similar James Barlow, it's not a razor but a french microtome (beginning of the XX century). It's design to cut some very thin layer of meat in purpose to study the resulting slice with a microscope. So you've got to use the back with the hand.
One face of the microtome must be flat, the other have a grinding.
