    There's a whole community of straight razor collectors that don't buy them to use them. They buy them for the celluloid or to put on display with other antiques. For display that would be a nice piece. To use it would take some work.
    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    It is the possession that gives the pleasure.

    Well I guess we will never know. At this point how could one prove it is a C.G.? No pictures, no definitive description and no known sample. It will remain a myth.

    He should have just done what we all do if we have a mystery that performs and sell it as such... It's not like his opinions on a rock's performance don't hold weight in the community....

    If Neil Miller and Bos couldn't come up with anything, unless something shows its face with labelling or someone finds an illustration or a sample in an old file I consider nothing that.
