J.A. Henckels "Platinum" in Burgundy Micarta
The owner of this blade has shaved with it for 50 YEARS. about 4 years ago, his handles cracked, and he continued right on shaving with it.
He had one and only request: Give him the most durable, reasonably priced material I had. He didn't care about color. it was all about utility to him. How cool is that. He was ready for another 50 years.
I hope he can pass on this razor to the next generation and they appreciate it as well as he did.
Nickel Silver rod, SS washers, Brass internal washers, White acrylic spacer.
In chat, Max swore up and down this looks like Ebony, but, the sandpaper doesnt lie --there was red dust everywhere :)
