    IXcell, can't go wrong with a George.

    Puma? Schmooma....

    Now go to Ebay and watch the Mayhem of New IXL buyers blowing the prices out of the water.

    Man, I am angry today, time to go beat on some HOT steel.

    Those are sure some dandy's Engine 46

    I love 'em. I've had 'em for some time now & just got lucky with the bidding at the time.

    My $30 IXL Wostenholm arrieved this past weekend.
    I really like the look of it and it seems to be in pretty decent shape.

    I don't know if the scales are original though - they seem to be plastic but not 100% sure.

    ​

    One thing I noticed - and when looking at other IXL branded razors is that the logo on this blade almost doesn't fit on the blade.
    I wonder if the blade has been reground and lost a bit of steel on the edge - or, if this is just how the stamps sometimes were applied?
