Clan of the Dancing Twins
Since users are posting to The Boker Brotherhood and The Butcher Shop I thought that I would start The Clan of the Dancing Twins.
Here is a recent find at a local antiques shop. Of course, the razor wasn't in this good of shape. I spent about an hour with MAAS and a rag, as well as, an application of dental floss in those tight places. (Everyone has seen dirty razors, so I won't waste your time with those photos.)
Notice that that it came with the original box, and I can almost make out the original owner's name handwritten on the label on the back.
I am happy with this find.

My humble submission to the Clan
This is my 11/16 Friodur not fancy but she sure can cut.... When Solingen blades are done right they really are done right....Smooth, sharp and easy to hone what more can you ask for!!!!!!
This is probably an appropriate place...
Does anyone know what the numbers on the tangs stand for? I swear that I've yet to see the same one twice, though I'm positive there are plenty of each number out there. I tried to find out quickly on here and the general internet to no avail. The two guesses I've come up with are:
1) Some sort of batch number, so lower numbers mean older razors.
2) An ID number for the shop and/or craftsman who made the specific blade.
I think it would be really cool if you could use the number of the tang to find out a little bit more history of your particular blade(s).
