    Nice looking razor. Looks an awful lot like a Charlie Lewis. Enjoy.

    We already went through the Charlie thing in the last week two. I choose not to get involved in that one.

    By the way, this is 8/8 O1 tool steel w/micarta scales. When I had trouble aligning the thrust washers, I applied maple syrup to the tang around the pivot hole so the washers wouldn't move while I inserted the rod. Pretty slick.

    I really like the washers. Wouldn't a little dob of grease hold them in without the sticky rust encouragement?

    Rinsed pivot w/hot water and air chuck, then TufGlide. All is fine.

    Slick looking razor, let us know how it is to keep edge and how it shaves.
    I am very appreciative of all the knowledge and sharing each and everyone has provided me with. Look forward to future endeavors with many of you.
