Just perfect!
Interesting etching.
Interesting etching.
I have a 13/16 W&B near wedge with a George Washington etching.
I also have a 7/8 W&B near wedge with no etching.
I just love the way these things shave.
Yours looks like a 7/8, right?
I am still on the Filarmonica theme, and just received my first Fili13 this week.
Looks like it has never been on a hone and it is sad to see that whoever owned it for the past decade or so didn’t take precautions to preserve such a treasure. There was actually active rust on the blade.
Cleaned it up a bit, I am not going to go too far and loose the gilding. Honed it and shaved. Took a bit of work to set the bevel, so factory edges that's below par is not something new!
Shaves like a dream[emoji7]
