Great video. Beautiful W&B razor. I have been collecting straight razors, and shaving with them for 20 years. The old British razors are works of art that I really started to appreciate more. For a long time I was into bolster straps and lots of metal work. Now I really enjoy the beauty and craftsmanship of the old English razor makers. The large wedge blades are amazing razors, and each one is different in some way. The grinding work on those old blades is a art form.
Thanks Ryan..I totally agree with you. From the wedge to the angled part bottom of the tang, things we see less and less of with modern razors. What gets me about the old razors is the amazing steel which is never to be recreated . Many thanks
2:03 How did you go about fixing/slimming the bevel in the end. I've a few W&B's and the bevels are the same size as the toe on yours except along the entire length. I don't use tape, which will mean a larger bevel, and when doing an ATG pass the larger bevel can cause the razor to stick to your face and when you add pressure to get it going again it can sometimes skip which is real bad news with the straight razor. I think if I can reduce the size of the bevel it would fix this.
@@EdgeDynamicsEnglishRazors Ah ok thanks, that's a bit beyond my skill level or tools. I might hone one of them with tape to create a micro-bevel and see if that helps.
Great To Know Ok. I Was Very Worried Ahout You Cause I Care. Am Happy 😁 Awesome Shave My Brother Always A Pleasure Watching You Shave That Razor In The End Oh My God Wow 😱😱😱

It needs to be ground on a belt grinder, quite a big job all told.. Cheers

7:49 I've watched a lot of shaving videos and I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that sort of thing. Takes a steady hand, I guess.
Thanks Howie. Always appreciate your comments :)
Fantastic shave Joseph! Enjoy that sun lol
nice razor nice shave
Thanks you.. You should see it now with a fine even bevel ..
@@EdgeDynamicsEnglishRazors i bet it shaves great
I need to start sunbathing but I'm a bot chubby at the moment ahahaha
Man, that W&B looked seemed like it shaved like dream! You're REALLY going to take it apart and work on the toe more? lol
After sun bathing i sorted the bevel out and gave it a better finish, a deep luster .. Now its ready :)
