The W&B 6/8" half hollow spike point sway back that I bought arrived today 
It is called "The Washington Razor" (as named on the scales) and came shave ready. This is the first vintage razor I have owned and man am I impressed, it is loads better than my new Dovo Silver Steel I have been using. Cut like a dream and felt great sliding across my face. The only down side, in my mind, are the horn scales. I say that its a downside because I really dislike the smell of the horn when it is wet. I am going to get the razor restored eventually and I am thinking of rescaling it but retain the original scales since they are in great shape. I can't wait to get a shave in when I have a full day or two's growth so I can run 3 full passes
