Great find Tom.She will shave wonderfully.

 

Well said!

I hope so. Argo Steel... do we know if that was the makeup for all Engels or just a few models?

 

Just won a bid on a 5/8 Vintage Boker and a Swaty hone .

 

BTW I was thinking about bidding on that 8/8 Engels.But I have a hard time using the Engels I already own .I am glad it went to a home that will use it and understand its workmanship and quality .Have a great weekend !

 

The larger Engels are rare birds .You do not see them very often .5/8 are the most common .8/8 you almost never see them .

 

Nice. It's not every day you see an Engels that big.

 

Thanks Mike & Scott. I saw it go through a couple bidding rounds and didn’t see it dropping any further... figured what the heck. Glad I did.

 

I definitely like the size of the blade

I was watching both of those razors the square point and that round point. You got a nice razor.

 

Thanks. Now to once I get working I have to get a spindle of that and get someone to make me a brush with it. You should get a brush with the same wood and have a brush and razor that matches.

 

cool razor sir..

 

Billy You remind me of a James Bond Villain who is try to corner the market on a rare commodity.Just kidding .That is a lovely blade and I understand why you like F.W.Engels so much .I have the same problem . I am addicted to Argo Steel .

 

Aye they are Lovely Shavers..
