Shortly after discovering the SRP I casually started looking for a str8. I finally found one today on a workbench with a lot of $1 each tools. I spent a couple hours cleaning it up but only brought it to a point in the event it's junk. I believe the scales are cocbolo. It may be of interest that it looks like it retains its original price tag and appears to read 50¢. I was looking at my 1908 sears catalog and this seems about right. You could purchase a marginal German razor for as little as 30¢ or spring $2 for a personalised razor with your name etched in gold. Does this look like it could be a user or is the proof of the pudding in the tasting? Thanks for your opinion, Jeff
