Geo. Worstenholm & Son 14/16 Wedge straight razor Sheffield 1825

I deal with truly RARE straight razors every day so it takes quite a bit to impress me these days.
This is indeed an impressive find. This blade has one of the oldest and most trusted names stamped on it...Geo Wostenholm and sons.

Please NOTE: This razor is not shave ready. I don't work on Wedges. Too time consuming for my schedule. I can't say how much work it needs. Its cutting my arm hair but it's sold as is.

The pros: A 14/16" Geo Wostenholm is extremely uncommon. These original scales are one of a kind. The hefty wedge has enough steel to last another 200 years easily. Barber notched. If you're looking specifically for this razor...it's your lucky day. Don't let someone snatch it away! This isn't a blade for just anyone. This one MUST go to someone who knows how to baby a razor.

This is an excellent razor. it really deserves to be in a glass case somewhere.
Intentionally pricing some people out of the market on this one. My apologies. SIMILAR but not the same blades have gone for over $600 on the junk auction site.






((This notice is on all listings may not apply to THIS listing: please look at item descriptions before purchasing any items))

Nos definition: New old stock. It means the razor is OLD but not used. So you will not have a razor that is honed or stropped by me. You will have a brand new factory edge. Which usually is shave ready but often will require immediate or quicker work to get the edge how YOU prefer. They are usually the most expensive razors because they are best preserved. By honing them I would be devaluing them. IF you don't care and want me to hone a NOS razor contact me prior to purchase and let me know. Many people put their razors are NOS just to get views and it has no meaning to them just like "shave ready" is not true for most online sellers these days.

Shave ready definition:
Shave ready means different things to different people. It's often just added to titles to increase sales. I use the term honestly. It passes all industry standards of shave readiness and has been put through the described process. If you are looking for a razor that you can take out of the box....and shave with. That's what shave ready is supposed to mean. Worked on by a professional.

My 2 cents on hone wear and scratches. It's a tool. Don't worry about them. Some people tape spines I do not unless stated and for a specific reason. My goal is to maintain the geometry of the razor not manipulate it and provide the best shaving razor not simply a perfect razor. No shave ready razor is in mint but I do my best to balance ALL pros and cons to provide the most trustworthy cutthroat.

My process on shave ready razors varies based on the razor.
*Honed on a progression of water-stones: Norton 4/8k followed by Naniwa 12k; finished on a Greek Vermio natural hone.
*Stropped on a progression of fine linen, kangaroo and horse-shell strops.
*Edge is shave-ready, and delivers a keen, precise and smooth shave.
