    Could be a fine shaver. The one thing that I notice is the scale width up close to the pivot. Looks more like what you would see on a thinner blade. JMO.

    Thats a nice razor for sure. Generally speaking those W&B's are well worth the effort to clean up. Nice find!!

    A great blade for restoration.
    There were a few makers utilizing that type of grind at one time or another.

    Pretty sure they are not the right scales. They open very tight

    Anyone happen to know what model this is?? It is 13/16 but possibly started out at a 7/8

    "Diamond Edge" maybe ?
    Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.

    Nice razor. It looks like with a little 0000 steel wool, some polish and a rag it would look incredible.

    If you get us close up clear pics of the pins at pivot vs wedge, we can probably tell

    Tightness is normally from Crud, a shot of "WD-40" will loosen up the action, you want them tight but not so tight you fear breaking them
