I have wandered through the various clubs and viewed the spectacular specimens that have been well taken care of or restored to their glory. I have a couple that fit nowhere. They have been abused, misused, and neglected. This is the place for them. I think that the only rule is that you should have shaved with them for at least one week.
I will lead off the way with this wonderful example. THE PRINCE. I do admit I didn't think the string would last long so I exchanged it for some copper wire. I used wire that was from old cloth covered automobile wire of unkown vintage to keep in the spirit. The scales on one side are actually in 3 pieces under the wire. I honed it up with a little more than normal work to get past the rust on the edge and it shaves wonderfully.
