    It all makes perfect sense to me. A guy can't have a nice box without a nice pair in them. Those are sweet razors.

    You guys sure know how to make a bruised wallet feel better. Thanks, I knew you'd understand! Outback, you get it, it's RAD with a purpose. And Rez, I finally put together a pair worthy of that "extra" box, I'm glad you approve.

    Just picked up this John Barber but I find no Square or compass.
    Paid way more than I should have but its an oldie for sure. Any clues as to its age or anything?

    this is certainly a beautiful razor! thanks for sharing. I know Tom (sharpton) must be drooling all over his keyboard, i know he loves MOP scales and English razors.. double price is have them in combo!
