    No, I haven't tried them yet. And these are NOS, so they've not been used before.

    But I can pretend. ;)

    Apparently it's a 6/8's spike point NOS WonderEdge, and it's proving to be very illusive. I came close about six months ago, found one on a BIN. By the time I read the description and mashed the BIN button it was already gone. The quest continues...Call me Ishmael...

    I managed to harpoon one of these bad boys…a jumbo Wostenholm IXL. I've been looking for an 8/8 blade straight razor, either a Wade & Butcher or similar vintage maker for sometime and regrettably the ones that do pop up on ebay sell for truly stratospheric prices!
    I found this one yesterday afternoon at an antique store and walked out with it for about $22. :) ONE white whale down…many more to go!

    I don't know what kind of mojo was at work, but less than a week after posting in this thread, I found my dream Duck. Not the WonderEdge, but it will certainly ease the pain of not having found a WonderEdge.

    I'll post pics when it arrives later this next week. Rarely have I been this excited to receive a new razor!

    Sides, if it was Mithril, it would cost like the whole Land mass of the western hemisphere.

    This is my favorite Mug. The bidding on the bay goes insane for these. The black ones usually go cheaper. Good luck!

    What advantages to the 7/8,8/8,9/8 have over smaller blades?

    I saw that one. It is a rare beauty my friend. Glad to see it went to a loving home. Be sure to report on her maiden voyage. :eatdrink047:

    Since I had just landed the toggle I showed restraint and did not pull the trigger on this beauty. The bidding was a little crazy, so I will search for another. :sad024:

    I'm looking for a nice birth year razor too. 1979. The brand and style is yet to be determined.

    I've heard tell of the Oscar 11 brush.

    That is on my mythical creature list.
