I have so many I'm constantly after, but this is one that has always been at the back of my mind. I have never seen one for sale. (JRD Huggins, a barber in NY)

I always like the things you come up with ScienceGuy. I did score me a carved Ivory Joseph Rodgers & Sons straight razor but it really needs a nicer blade. I love those you showed in Show & Tell awhile back.

Seems like most people's holy grail is Wade And Butcher for barbers use or celebrated razors

Well I found my Holy Grail razor, albeit a "wounded" one.
In an attempt to straighten the spine, the previous owner split the razor along the tang, it was silver-soldered back together, is very solid and looks great and I figure this is probably the closed I'll ever get to one of these. Beautiful wedge grind, and gave a wonderful shave.

Well, Phrank! You got an old toe-swooping wedge with a nice tang. Your Grail!
I reckon you have retired from acquisitions and are giving some of us a chance?
How does it shave?

And if you'd ever let some of that treasure trove you have go, I'd be back in full force, along with the rest of Western Civilization...
....you have some real beauties, I've seen 'em
