Wostenholm & Son 6/8" frameback…newly-honed and first shave with it this morning.

today I used the third of my honing class of 16.
it's;
KB Extra #67 4/8 spike end.
after shaving with this razor,I think it's a half hollow grind.
when I examined it to begin, it looked like a full hollow. but it definitely had a different feel on the face. so I'm assuming it was ground differently.
the shave was close and comfy, but I did miss the audio feedback.
please correct me if my assumptions are incorrect. thank you.

I concur. Half-hollow.

Got an custom update pic from Tim Z. today. It officially looks like a straight razor now. The wheels of progress are indeed turning.

Hart Steel 6/8

How cool is that !

I thought you were culling down your collection, Mike.

BBS! More WD 5/8

Wow, BBS already. Congratulations.

Thank you! Everything just hit. Alum was hot around the edges and neck, but BBS indeed. Tomorrow I will chase it with the Aust.

This one I've had ordered since last May Robert. It has been accounted for in the Grand Tally .

Looks fantastic Mike, what scales are you going for and obviously a covered tang to match.

today I used;
Eaton 85 Diamond Edge 5/8 full hollow spike

I broke out of the class of 16. I wanted to check my progress.
yesterday I continued my efforts in honing by redoing the edge on my wosty. but I didn't want to use a half hollow two days in a row. so I chose the diamond edge.
it performed wonderfully.
thanks for following my posts.
