Here is one of two that I have ... the other one is in a drawer at work. I guess I should bring it home!

Sorry, Jim:
I really don't have that many razors that I would say will stay in my "permanent collection". This one will. The style, the grind, the design and the condition of it are so unique and so cool. I posted this quite some time ago, and have yet to hone it up.
Incidentally, in the last pic I tried to show an etch in that groove of the blade grind. In elaborate script you can barely make it out even in person, but it says "Old English".

No-name 5/8 kind of round point.
Uh oh, Mark, you're a HADdict and you didn't even know it. Resistance is futile! Good eye, it's the Belgian blue side of a vintage Coticule which is my prized coticule over all the others I own. Here's a better close up of how amazing it is. It shimmers and almost glows.
