Vintage v new?

Twelvefret

Forum GOD!
Speaking of vintage, my experience with these circa 1920’s brand has been mixed. I’m hoping this one turned out to be as good as the wedge version. I paid $26 and figure if it takes to the hones, it’s money well spent.

Rob, is right about the dimensions and especially the balance with some custom razors, usually made by custom knife makers who haven't quite thought through what they are actually trying to produce, having said that there is a way around this, I myself have had two custom razors made using drawings and measurements that I have made of my own vintage razor with all the small detail included, both were made by Cedric Christ, they were perfect both identical clones using modern steels, I still have one and it's a fantastic shaver, a Hoshi Tombo 6500 clone, here's the drawing I made and sent him, the drawing including finished razor, I wanted it in Suminagash steel with carbon fibre scales, here's both original and custom.
