That is a blade to be well proud of!

My thanks, particularly from this viewpoint. Keeping the lines straight was paramount.

My appreciation!

Ya, Cheetah! Thanks, Man! Could be worse! Took a few trips to the hones to have it singing. You should come over to the 'thin' side sometime!

Very nice Tom. I don't know where you pull these rare blades from, but keep em coming. I love the razor porn!

Great find Tom! I said it before; you got gear man...
Awesome blade.

Hopefully, others will share their unheard of oddities on the forum. They need to be seen!

Agreed, I seem to gravitate to the unusual these days. I suppose a love for history a bit more than razors?
BTW, Bartlett is big name in Lowell. Street, school, etc.

Got this off the net. Had to share.

"The King is dead, long live The King!" (French: Le roi est mort, vive le roi!;[1] Spanish: El rey ha muerto, ¡viva el rey!; Italian: Il re è morto, lunga vita al re!; Portuguese: O rei está morto, viva o rei!), or simply "long live the king!", is a traditional proclamation made following the accession of a new monarch in various countries. In modern times, it has become a popular phrasal template.

Har! Thanks, Andrew! Sort of like 'brush porn'?

Ah! So now we know. So it should be that since the new razor has arrived, the old one has died!
The Razor is dead, Long live the Razor!

That is one fine looking razor!
Nice job on the restore too!
