Yes but you're hanging out here, which means you're considering making the jump at some point
.
nice one. it looks completely unused!
That's a typical good quality standard razor from Sheffield. Nothing to fancy, but very effective. I've owned a couple of that brand in the past, but the condition was not as good as that one.
It's a 6/8" fully hollowed (probably singing) blade with full mirror finishing and gimps top and bottom. Good quality Sheffield carbon steel blades are easy to hone and strop, hold a good edge and are especially smooth to shave with. It will give a comfortable close smooth shave. Enjoy it, they don't really make blades like that anymore. Most of the current production from Germany tends to be a harder steel which don't feel as smooth somehow. That's not saying I dislike the new stuff, but some of the older razors really do work well. That is one of the ones that works well.

It caught my eye. What sold me is that it came with the box.
