Stopped on my way home from work at an antique shop just around the corner and found this stuff.What a surprise. A mug made in Gernany by D&B as hallmarked on bottom.A 11/16 Genco Model B4 w/ shortened blade.A Gillette NEW,which should clean up nicely.An Omega shave brush,Made in Italy.And last ,but the better find,A Wade & Butcher "FOR BARBERS USE" 8/8 Spike Full Hollow Meatchopper.

How much width did you lose overall?

Were you just continually cutting on the bevel, or did you breadknife it?

 

[Walter Sobchak]

WOW. Great work. I didn't think it was possible to get a chip like that out. That thing is looking really nice.

 

[Blackstangal]

Continous on the bevel til I got real close,then the bread knife thing.Its measuring at 15/16ths.

Excellent!
That is probably what I would have done too.

Even at 15/16 that blade is massive.

That is a heck of a score!!

You were very lucky to grab one W&B For Barber's Use, that's one of the most precious W&B out there.
