Another duplicate for me, a Hess 44 which are among the smoothest stainless razors.
The size is 11/16, the grind is full hollow. The blade is very clean, but it's not perfect. The flattening on the spine is minimal, but I had to remove about 1/64" of the width while honing. I did tape the spine.
The point is square and rather sharp which is my preference. It's easy to be muted and I have no problem doing that if the buyer wants me to.
The scales are cracked ice plastic and the front one is slightly warped which doesn't affect closing in any way.
It was hard to capture the gold wash while having the rest of the razor exposed properly, but it says 'Hess, Stainless Steel, Frozen Temper'.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
