    A Griffon XX was the first antique store razor I ever bought.
    I still have it; it is a nice shaver.

    Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

    Yep, I have one also..It is a good razor. Takes an easy edge. I rescaled it and it shaves great...The down side is that it is a little stiff, and the spike (on mine is brutal)...Now, yours is a round tip so you won't have that problem. If you buy another one you will want to make sure it isn't sanded down as much....They are more pleasing to the eye when the "Carbo Magnetic" is still etched on the blade...But, overall it is a nice inexpensive shaver side.
