    At work, but tonight I'll post my "kit" as I like to refer to it.

    I've watched all of Lynn's videos and a few of glens repeatedly. Gotta pound the information into the grey matter to make it stick!

    I had originally picked up perusing this forum again about 3 weeks ago, started reading your guys' adventures in "The Butchered Blade" when I picked up Butchered Butcher. Told myself I'd start posting once I caught up or else I never would. I'm definitely envious of the razors, tools(small apt and no space) and ingenuity in this site!

    Disregard some of the scratch like things, it's TP from when I applied oil. Except for the Morley, it looks like someone got a little careless with this forum's favorite tool, herr dremel. There's a sticker on the box showing that it was either sharpened/purchased/honed at a grinder in Milwaukee. That drew me to it, plus the fact it was 8 bucks

    Nice ern! Be careful no that your active. It's easy to convince yourself you absolutely positively have to have fancy shaving things, and they usually cost a lot of money. My fiance's from Wisconsin, and now I miss spotted cow!

    dinnermint, I love that W.R. Case & Sons!!!!!! That one rocks! I won a Crandall Cutlery straight for very little a couple weeks ago because it was listed as a Randall Razor & I knew right away what it had to be!

    Welcome, dmint. Indeed, that Case seems to be the best one. Those are Dovo-made from 1990+/-.
    FME, they were ground a bit more carefully whilst being made for Case when Parker owned the name.
    Everyone seems to say they are fine. Enjoy!
