Very nice and interesting write-up, Lynn. I could almost feel the Italian sun on my skin reading it ;)
'Your' razor is just gorgeous, imho the best of the bunch (although they all are amazing). Its file work is just breath taking. So now,you have to decide... to shave with it or not to shave... since it has been used already, there is no reason to keep it in a museum... :D
BTW, how hard is it to hone one of those Maestro blades? Not that I'm planning on getting one anytime soon, just being curious.
