Thread: Dating a C-Mon Blackie

There were Blackies only, then the "Hand-Made" versions I think, but am not sure because I haven't looked at a large enough sample, that the HM versions are bit more hollow...

There was also a HF or Hand Forged razor also...

Mine is the "Hand-Made" version and came with a blued spine-tang-tail, hollow is clean shiny steel from the grind. It is most definitely a full hollow, but not as much as what I call a singing or extra hollow.

Thanks for the info Carrie on Dovo making them now...interesting indeed.

Shooter-man I think that was how the Blackie name got stuck on them in the first place.. then again who knows for sure...
I do know I have never "dated" any C-MON that hasn't danced a smooth shave for me

Uh oh -- I thought this was a dating thread... I was going to tell Dylan.

Darn it...the Blackie I got off ebay had a blade that was about a half inch short and had small chips on the blade. I will be able to salvage it and use it as a shaver. I will still enjoy restoring it and will gain some good experience.

I've heard great things about cmon's, it's gotta be one for my wish list.
Do they really live up to the reputation of a great shaver, maybe I'm looking for convincers.

Yes, they do live up to the reputation they have "earned".
