Thread: George Wolstenholm Celebrated

Picked up this razor today. I have two other GW's, and they are excellent shavers. Got a good deal on this one.

A couple of questions:

1. I'm not familiar with the kind of grind on this razor. With the prominent spine like this one. What is this kind of razor called?

2. I used WD 40 and 0000 steel wool to remove the light rust and patina. I also used MAAS to polish and remove some grime. Still not 100% satisfied with the end result. I'm wondering what other cleaners/compounds I can use other than MAAS to remove the grime etc on a razor?

3. The razor took a great edge. King 1k then Norton 4k/8k and strop. Haven't tried any CROX yet. If I were to purchase some CROX, should I notice a marked difference in my edge? Assume I am getting comfortable shaves currently, though ATG can sometimes be a bit uncomfortable depending on my beard growth and location on my face...

Cant wait to test shave it tomorrow or Thursday. Having so much fun with SR shaving, its amazing...!

Thanks for your responses in advance.
