A tiny tree symbol stamped on the tang. Not sure what or when this represents. But very cool nonetheless.




"The Celebrated" Geo. Wostenholm & Sons
The workmanship on this blade is amazing. The scales speak for themselves, and the black resin? that is inlayed in the blade stamping really brings out how well this blade must have been cared for in the past. Very deep blade stamp. This is my first full wedge, barbers notch and Wosty. All wrapped up into one. I can't wait to see how it shaves. I hope it's as buttery of a shaver as it looks.

That would a Joseph Wostenholm and Sons razor rather than a George. It's a fine looking razor and ought to be smooth shaver.

Oooohhhh good catch Wullie! I thought all Wostys were George Wosty. Apart from that, it was the second smoothest shave I had. I can't wait til I prep fully/properly to shave with it. I'm turning into a big Sheffield fan. I guess I really don't have any experience with any old Solingen blades, but seriously, who said Solingen was the "City of Blades"? Cuz I'd really like to have a discussion with that person about that particular statement.
