Thanks for your comments. Do you know of this razor's shaving capabilities?

I have one with snakewood scales. It is a very, very close shaver. It gives my LeGrelot 1/4 a run for comfort. Honing was very easy. I understand that these are old razors blanks brought into production. It is definitely a keeper for me.

Gentlemen,
Thank you for your thoughts on this razor.
My dear Lynn, especially thank you for your comments. Since you are my shave guru, what you say is The Law.
Now if you will permit me, gentlemen, I shall resume my drooling over this lovely razor.
Regards,
Obie

Here's a pair of bone handled lovelies with one being the silver steel and the Spartacus marked piece the new stuff. Both shave great.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
