Got this off the bay, Less then 20 bucks!
Bigelow and Dowse Made in Germany 523 3 4 Style C thru Lettering Pen 2 Pieces | eBay
It arrived today and I was pleasantly surprised when I took it out to look at it.
The one scale was cracked near the pivot (I knew this already) but other than that it was in GOOD shape!
Did the arm hair test and it was pretty close to sharp.
Got out the Norton 4000/8000 and had a go at it. :gl:
I am NO honing expert by ANY means but I got it quite sharp IMO
Took it to the shave den and all I can say is
WOW! :dropjaw:
Since I am pretty NEW to SR Shaving I took the approach of beard minimization, which worked out WELL!
Got a NICE
DFS from this puppy :rock:
This thing can put my brand new Dovo to the test!
I can't imagine what it would shave like with someone who KNOWS what they are doing on the hones sharpened it!
Time to get a set of scales on it and put it in the rotation!
Wonder if I could CA Glue the scale back together and use that? Hummm......:thinking:
