    I somehow cannot help but think fuzzy10's razor was an exhibition piece, or a point-of-sale display.
    Deeply-engraved, it is not as the average razor, I think?

    You made a good point Tom. I just looked at it again & it looks like it may have been for display use or like you said, an exhibition piece. It almost looks as if it weren't meant to hone looking at the edge but I might be wrong. It definitely has a deep etch to it! I have one that has etching all across the blade but not as deep. I can't find it now but I will. His shows either a lot of hone hear at the heel or the etch wasn't perfectly straight but things weren't as precise back then but they were amazing pieces they made back then. I have a lot of respect for the older straights & makers & the quality they put into them way back whenever they were made. I find it very fascinating because they had to use their heads & didn't have any computers or such to figure out every aspect of this tool. As time went on several variations then started coming out like hollow grinds & such but the beauty of these old pieces are most astonishing to me.

    What I can tell you about it, is that you need to give it to me! I love all that etching!
    Contact me if you would consider parting with it. Or not, keep it, be delicate in polishing (by hand only please!) and shave away!

    I've had it for quite a while and it is probably my favorite but i could part with it given the correct circumstances.

    What would those circumstances be my friend? Looking for something specific?

    It would take a pretty good offer too good to refuse. It's a pretty special piece and I'll probably never see another like it.

    Make an offer I can't refuse. It's special and I'll probably never see another.

    Just to let you know, sales talk or even giving a value on a straight razor is prohibited in the forum. You might want to keep that in mind & pm an interested party & do your business that way. Just letting you know.
