If U have the pict, could U please paste them. curious to see, I really like the name of it, I used to have some kinda tobacco thats got the same name long time ago

Probably not the coolest or flashiest razor, but I still like my C-Mon 7/8 Blackie.

I have a few razors, but I would have to say the engineering fit and finish is second to none, iv'e looked at Ikon and pils, but both those razors dont match up to the Feather AS-D1 I love this razor, it even shaves better than it looks, my Feather AS-D1.

For a long time I've wanted one of Charlie's razors, and now I have one. Next, I really want one of those 10/8 Joseph Rodgers. Maybe one day I'll get lucky...

I am also a Wacker fan.. I have two so far. This one is No. 6 of a series of 16 razors made by Heribert himself.

Antik Spanish Point with Blond Horn scales. Shaved like a dream after I honed it.....

Interesting....my Antik is No. 6 of 35, can't say I can see much difference between yours and mine except the coloring in the scales and that yours look like it have a little different thumb notch and shoulder.

Makes perfect reason, that's where I'm trying to get now that my test and fail period is starting to slow down :)

I've heard rumors of people who didn't have a cell phone, but I never believed in them...until now :) Only joking, sometimes I wish I didn't have one but my job requiers me to, and it's a good tool for browsing SRP in bed :)

Got one of those, one of my favorites even thought it's "just" 5/8

Fortunately my amazing fiancé has ordered me one as an engagement present and I get all sweaty palmed every time the post man rings the bell...! :D Can't wait for that one to arrive! :)

You lucky man!!! She must be a keeper! (And by getting you such razor it sound like she think you are too :) )

Isn't Christmas great? The perfect excuse to get yourself (or let some other get you) some nice gear.

Allow me to educate you. Sit back, relax, and prepare to be amazed.

Some say it was forged in the tears of virgin baby white seals during a solar eclipse in an ocean that has since ceased to exist ..... on Mars;

Some say it is made from ore only found at Area 51, has a strange fluid-like consistency, and possesses an alien stubble-magnetism;

Some say only one was forged, and the rest spawned from it;

Some say Chuck Norris nicked himself with it;

Some say if you stare too long into its silvery depths, you see the very soul of God;

Some say that the Templar Kinghts existed solely to protect it, and that the Holy Grail was merely the shaving cup the Son of God used when He shaved with It;

Me? Well, I don't know one way or the other. All I know is that some great men have seen and used it, and the best damn description I've ever seen comes from our very own Bruce, struck dumbfounded yet eloquent when confronted with pictures of the mythical blade:

That is truly a beautiful razor.
Thanks for sharing.

I already have it. I found an old W&B "Celebrated" "For Barber's Use", and it needed some TLC. So, I sent it away to live temporarily with gssixgun. He gave it lots of TLC.

Here she is in her new digs, streaked horn. And just so we can all get a feel for that beautiful 8/8 size, she's standing next to her little 4/8 "Special" brother.

Here you go:








p.s. I own it!

OMG. i love it!

Thanks! I let out a whoop when I won it that brought my co-workers out of their bedrooms. They think/know I'm a little nuts. I mean, this thing was around when GEORGE WASHINGTON was still alive!! probably.

A NOS Wester Bros Manganese Steel with blonde scales for me. I absolutely cherish my old Wester, it is my best shaver and the perfect fit and feel for my hand, I couldn't look forward to shaving without that razor in my rotation. What I wouldn't give to find one NOS... dare to dream.
