    Beauty Glen - did think the second was a De Pews!!!

    The Bruno is his Azumi style, great looking with the bone scales!!

    Those are both stunning showstoppers.
    There's just something special about the look and feel of camel bone.

    It's not a DePews, that is why he mentioned it not being a "perfect razor". That is more rare, I've had a few depews...never had one of those Rogers with a tail like that. They are quite rare for me as I LOVE monkey tail razors!!

    Darn it I was looking forward to the Bruno one being in the mail. Guess it will have to wait for another day to get it. Tc

    Knew that pretty much right after reading Glen's post...

    Had a De Pews myself and have seen the Rodgers monkey tail...
