Where did you find my box of blades? I've been looking all over for that thing.....

Nice looking blade Gary!!! That's one anyone would love to have in the rotation.

DNJRboy I Found the box in a trash bin behind a bar in Edmonton Alberta Canada.The box had Cutthroat Canucks written on it.I asked around,and put an addin the local paper,but nobody claimed the box,so I had to bring it down here to Texas(paid 2.73 custom duties).This happened in 1967,do you think you can help me identify the rightfull owners.I will post pictures of the blades tomorrow.Melissa has already been tasked to make some pictures.Best regards Gary

That is a beautiful razor, Gary. I can't wait to see what else you pull out of that box.

Another great one. Love the "staple" on the wedge.

Great work as usual!

What a lucky find that box was!
