    Thank you Sir! This is an oldish thread, but it has been a gem for a year and 8 months, now! A keeper for certain.

    Ahh, another oldy but goody thread. Awesome looking blade and double grind, too cool. Amazing how forward thinking the razor design is, considering how old it is. Thanks for sharing Sharptonn.

    I keep thinking about these scales. Do you know the history behind them?

    I really don't know what make of razor they came from.
    I should have a clue as I have 3 sets of them. Alas, I have no idea.

    The original blade was not as nice as this one. THAT I can guarantee!

    Well, the tobacco fits American made blades.

    Yes, I think it was certainly a 'for USA' thing.
    One thing I like about them is they can take quite a large blade.

    well Tom I don't even look at buying razors anymore, but man I would have to change my mind if one like that came up. got to love that grind and like Glen said I bet it takes a great edge. and any steel out of Little Valley New York has my respect TC
