    Seems to be in relatively good shape for its age. Hone it up and see!

    Busted your eBay Cherry on that one eh? It begins....

    That's a very nice blade, with the Crown WR stamp...that's a real beauty for a great price! Congrats!

    That's just it . . . I just BOUGHT two last week. And I honestly expected to be outbid by a sniper.

    The wife is going to laugh her ass off.

    I presume you know that the WR makes it pretty dang old. Age and condition combined, it is a nice find.

    No, I did not. I trusted Phrank when he said it was going for a good price. Happy to find out it was still a good buy at what I paid for it.

    Don't worry about it...after awhile it just becomes old news to them, only ever brought up along with everything else you've ever done wrong you're entire life during the occasional argument, I've come to consider the razor's almost a buffer zone...

    Edit: if you have a look at my SOTD today, there's the WR mark on my Greaves, it's dated around 1810-30 I believe...you got a sweet deal on that razor, and it's in great condition! I had to hold back myself...but today, RAD lost and you won!!!
