    Default A 19/16 Huge Brittain, Wilkinson & Brownell razor

    Here's a nice one.
    Just one day after the Dream Razor (Brad's 9/8+ GB Anchor stamped) got sold on Ebay for well over 500 dollars, I thought I'd never, ever find another razor like that, let alone afford it.
    Well, there must have been a small angel on my shoulder that day, because the local Barbershop where I bought my first straight razor equipment simply had it for sale online. I pushed the "purchase now" button in less than a millisecond and here she is. She's mine. :-)
    For a mere 85 dollars, I consider this a bargain. This razor is about 200 years old. The zipper had not been invented yet. The bicycle had only just been introduced. People didn't know what a car was... I'm thrilled.

    That is a beauty. You're a lucky guy.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Congrats on a GREAT score!! Don't forget to wipe your shoes off. She looks like a honey. Get 'er honed up and back in service. You can restore her later if you wish. I wouldn't wait to shave with that beauty.
