check out my Perfect Wizard from this thread:

it's a stub and fantastic, although it looks like it's been rescaled, and is a stub 'cause the old tail broke off :-P
still, great razor.

I've had this one for years from when I used to collect old razors but didn't shave with them. It is a Rodgers Cast Steel. I haven't honed it but I may get around to it.
This one is also from my collecting days and unfortunately has a large chip in the edge. I love the overall look of the blade and scales though.
Back then I mainly collected razors from this vintage. Wish now that I hadn't sold them.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

This old boy (around 1835 I'd guess) just came back from gssixgun.

This is my warranted razor with tortise shell scales. It is a pleasure to have her gently stroke my face in the morning.

Here's my newest Stub-Tailed shaver. I bought her with the intention of taking her to the buffer, but I don't think I can bring myself to do it.
