    It's a W&B 6/8 smiler. I know it's nothing fancy compared to some of you guys, but for me it gives excellent shaves after the edge cudarunner put on it for me. Amazing how a little smile on the blade can totally change the comfort of the shave. Especially with the scythe stroke in the hard to reach places on the neck.

    Cudarunner even got the big chip out of the end for me...

    The Holy Grail is a Bresduck Napoleon. They say they made it, but i have never heard of anyone having so much as a picture of one.

    Uh, any one of the three racks on the wall of your shop will have pretty much an example of EVERY HOLY GRAIL razor made I'd think.
