I picked this up on eBay, it was a must have item for this old Marine. From the looks, it has never been honed but has a few small scratches I plan to buff out before sending it to Lynn for her first hone.
This razor got me thinking, although I do like it and the condition is great, sometimes I like to shave with a razor that has some history. But take a look:

Congrats! Clauss is quality and a USMC is getting scarce! Get ol Lynn to hone it and enjoy!

Thanks for your service Marine!
You have found a rare treat in that razor. Congratulations. You will really understand what a treat it is when Lynn sends
that beauty back to you. Enjoy and welcome to SRP.
Like Tom said, CLAUSS razors are excellent shavers. A USMC razor in that shape is a nice catch.
Good job MARINE!
Thanks for being the strong right arm of DON.

Thanks guys, I have been shining her up this afternoon, coming along better than expected!
Thats a sweet razor for sure, another member here ex-marine has a similar razor that he only uses on November 10 th.
No such thing as an ex marine. Former marine
There is no such thing as a Ex or Former Marine once you've earned the Title Marine you are always a Marine no one can ever take that away you earned it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Semper Fi
Attachment 146084 The reason there are no Ex or former Marines!
My apologies sir but the correct term is former. Not a co.troversial person but that has been used since I was in from 1988 until 1998
Marines are a great lot for sure,But being former Navy 1966/67,I must remind you jarheads:) that the Marine corps is overseen by the secratary of the NAVY,Carry on:)
And you should all ways thank the navy for the ride to the fight.....
What if you get a dishonorable discharge? :thinking:Quote:

Oh man that is slick. Need to get my wife to hunt me down one of those for when I retire.
The Commandant changed that a few years back and got rid of the Former part. It is just Marine now.Quote:

Any service member of the United States has my deepest respects. Well it's way too late now plus I have medical issues that keep me from holding down a normal job. I wish I had joined! I barely missed the draft & I am now 58. My heart goes out to all of you & to fallen troops of all times. Thank you very much for your service to our country!!!!
I did a lot of work with the 1st FRC c. 1969-1970 near the Laotian Border back in the day. Helped train a lot of them as well at the RECONDO School at Ninh Hoa, VN. Nothing but respect for my Marine Bothers....Semper Fi!
