The Wilinson 'Pall Mall' brand needs little intoduction and they have always had a reputation for being excellent blades. This is another nimble razor with 'Wilkinson's Special' etched onto the blade, my guess is that this blade was originally 5/8 ths, but years and years of duty has reduced it to a blade height of around 13 mm or around 1/2". Yes, you are getting a blade with a lot of wear, but also one that the owner used a lot because they enjoyed it so much! The razor weighs 29 grams and functions properly when the scales are opened and closed.
The razor is shave ready and shaved comfortably, the razor has original bone scales and we estimate date of manufacture around early 1900's. The razor clamps very tightly in between one's fingers and the tang has a great profile and jimping, this is a detailer for sure!
