    Lynn's description for the holy grail sounds pretty good to me, but that also means I need more experience to know what the holy grail is for me.

    Now if you are asking what is the holy grail of my RAD I would say that changes. It was a C-MON HF, I never cared for razors with plastic scales but the first time I saw a picture of that razor I swear there was lights and music and such in my head. In fact it was these pictures here...

    I'm now restoring one of those so my RAD needs a new Holy Grail to quest for, I think maybe an Otto Deutches or an 8/8 W&B will be my next quest.

    I'm really hunting for a few razors. One is a nice Mappin, another is a fencing foils Greaves, and another is something over 9/8. I'd also quite like a nice SatinWedge. That's all I can think of at the moment that I really want.

Size:  75.8 KBI like what Lynn said, Ive got a Harris-Goar, made in KC and sold by H-G in their catologs from way back. Its a 5/8 roundpoint, extra hollow ground etched on the obverse and We sell Elgin watches on Credit on the reverse. Its a great shaver, made and marketed here in the hometown and has a little rarity and history to it. What could be better!
