    Take the blade out of the scales and get rid of the scales.

    That's my understanding too! But, for the new guys, he means that the original color was darker to start with. If you're looking at a Dubl Duck Goldedge, etc. and the scales are the cracked ice.....they started life as white. If you see them a darker yellow/brown, they're in danger or in the process of breaking down.

    Run, run, run!!

    Looks as if the blade could need some touch up, but it might be just the lighting.

    Not sure if this is worth $53.

    One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.

    I bet the draw on that thing is as soft and smooth as silk,

    and I promise as long as you don't hit the handle or hardware you will never have to worry about rolling your edge when stropping on that bad boy.....

    You guys don't know a good practice strop when you see one ?
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    So if anybody needed a decent box for their pipe razor there is a gold lined vintage one that hones and oils your razor every time you store it for sale on ebay! The seller will apparently hand deliver as well.

    Check it out; Old George Wostenholm Son Straight Razor Box | eBay

    Maybe there is a razor genie inside the other IXL Wostenholm box the seller is offering!

    I shave because I want to, not because I have to!

    I will suggest that the whole strop could be ! Short but sweet pasted on one leather strap finish on the other. A simple favored strop of mine. But on the 'bay who knows!
    Cheers and thanks for the laugh!
