    The razor has to be named after the racehorse Nancy Hanks (1886 - 1915) - I just found this article, and this one.

    I think the "2.04" is the time taken to trot a mile (harness racing). Nancy Hanks was awarded a rosette for 2.04 in 1892.

    Regards,
    Neil

    He never fails. I'm pretty sure Joe intends to own one of everything. Remember the Robeson with the Boker tree? See http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...=robeson+boker
    Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.

    Not only do I remember that thread, I remembered Joe had that razor before he even posted it!

    Common guys, how can you doubt the claims without at leas first researching to find out if Abraham Lincolin had a very hairy mother—really.
