    You are a lucky chap indeed.
    A fine razor like that, and with that sort of history to it.
    I'll tell you, I would easily give up half of my collection of razors to have anything like that.
    I hope it hones up well, and provide you with many years of great shaves

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    Cool story, and a great gift. What a nice heirloom. And that it has kept such a fine condition through all this time is amazing, it's obviously been well cared for all these years. Congrats, I'm sure it will be a pleasure to shave with.

    T, That's wonderful. There's no blade like one from an ancestor. If you need a hand giving it an edge, I'd be happy to help.
