Beautiful rattler. I would be extra proud to have an heirloom like that.

Pardon my ignorance, rattler is a term I'm not familiar with. Would you care to elaborate?

Rattler is the type of grind that razor is. Stiff spine with an extra hollow blade, often mistakenly called a faux frameback. Originally Posted by unit

Hmmmm Yes and no, they are still called Faux-Framebacks, and some are also stamped "Rattler" they are sometimes referred to as a Flat grind also, I think there is an even more technical term for the type of grind it is too, but the name escapes me ATM...

Ready for a test shave. Hoping it goes well...
Edit to add....the shave went very well. It shaves better than I do
I cannot imagine ever having a razor acquisition topping this one...Last edited by unit; 09-10-2012 at 12:05 AM.
