    Default My antique store find from the weekend.

    Minus about 5 minutes of polishing the face of the blade with Maas and a soft cloth, this is how this razor came out of the case. It was the best of the batch, out of about 20 razors at the antique store. Was a good price in my book, and I love the looks of it. It appears to be all original from what can tell. Now I just need to hone it up and see if it shaves as good as it looks...

    Wow, that looks pretty sharp (no pun intended). Nice score.
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

    Do you guys think that green paint in the details at the end of the scales is original? It looks to be, but I have never seen anything like that before.

    I love that green at the ends of the scales - green is my favourite colour.
