Well, until i find new homes for a few...I still haven't even tried out my EWE Leader, but i bought glue for it today.

Nice razor! Grats!

13 happened. It's a Morley Clover Brand...

now i has to get another, 13 being such an odd number.

There will ALWAYS be a reason to snag another blade - when you get to 100 it'll be too round of a number. Welcome to the club....

I have a Joseph Elliot's Celebrated Razor of a similar grind and heft. It's a good shaver. I hope you like yours.

HOLY FAT COW!!!

The John not Joseph Elliot arrived yesterday. It's a hunk of hatchet! I'll get some pics up here later, but this thing makes my 7/8's razors look like play toys. (manly sharp play toys). I'm stoked.

Has some small nicks in the edge. Appears to have had etching buffed off...is _not_ a regrind. The remnants of the etching resembles the English Parliament. Horn scales have been repaired fairly well, but need a bit more clearance for the edge. A few taps with the 4oz tightened it up perfectly.

Seller threw in another Sheffield razor to compensate for shipping issues. It'll need scales and is more nominally sized, shows some hone wear, but looks like it'll shave NP.

And then this Morley "fell into my lap"...So I'm at 14 now.

dangit.

You made me get up to check that mine is stamped Joseph. It looks like they were a bunch of Johns and Josephs making razors back then. I hope yours turns out to be as nice a shaver as mine is.
