    Yeah, I want one & I passed on two on the bay in the last 2 weeks. They weren't big blades but I'll just hold out. The right thing might come along one day.

    I want a George Brittain also..............

    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?

    Never!!

    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
