Up for sale are 2 Refurbished Vintage straight razors by Billyji1 (from T'Bay).
I bought these as i wanted to know and get the feel for different professionally honed edges and Billy's were recommended even though he charges a little over the top.
The 1st Razor i bought from him was the 5/8 Peter Ludwig Schmidt "Golden Dispatch" it was just over £70 delivered, it has a nice edge on it and is a smooth shaver.
After using this razor i asked for another and went for a Bone scaled Wilkinson (of the Wilkinson sword company), this was £65 delivered.
I used these 2 along with other professionally honed razors to gauge my own edges against as i was learning. I now have new razors to play with and far too many so the Straight collection has to reduce.

Hi Tony,
I like the idea of comparing the edges, as I am about to embark on the honing rabbit hole myself,
Do any of these still have his edge on it or have they been lost with stropping etc?
 
How do,
No the edges are fine, as they came from Billyji1.
They are a nice shavers, they have around 6 shaves each on them.
I just have too many.
PM me.
