Recently I won this razor on ebay, it appears to be a Case Temperite razor that was re-scaled using Carl Monkhaus C-Mon scales. It came somewhat sharp but not shave ready so I took the plunge and tried to touch it up on my Coticule natural combo rather than send it to Lynn.

Given that this was my first try at honing a razor I could not believe the results... I'm getting the best shave so far from all my razors and since I'm no "honemeister" I have to assume that part of the credit goes to the quality of the Case Temperite steel. It has a very different feel than my Wostenholm Pipe or my Clauss USMC...feels very firm and sure. I'd love to learn more about Case, about Temperite steel and hear other Case owners experiences.

BTW: can anyone date the razor or the scales?
