Yeah, at this end of the story it's a spaghetti-mess of supposition and dead ends. I have no doubt Neil would know exactly who really made the Palmer razors and would turn up the codicil on an...

Well, as with everything to do with getting the house renovated to move into, it took me longer than I expected to have some free time to write more about this little (okay, not actually very little)...

I've got a lot more to say about the razor and Gog and Magog soon, but I'm on the last day of painting. This has been eating my days entirely!

However, I am fairly confident this razor is not a...

You're seeing two whiskers on the bevel edge, and their reflection in the surface of the blade. Due to skin oil, they're both stuck directly onto the metal, so there's no gap between whisker and...

George Palmer made fancy, fancy stuff for dudes who didn't even know how much money they had. He made stuff directly for the various royals and their buzzing...

Also, I edited one of my replies above to include a picture of the crazy-jimped tail.

Oh man, THAT BOOK.

Here's another term from it (the definition of which is left to the reader to discern)

THE ALVINE EXONERATION.

Tapatalk doesn't show your sig!

There will be more pics... The razor has jimps all the way to the end of the tail, on both sides!

Oh, yes. The scales are ivory.

Indeed! I suggest just waving a metal detector in the general direction of England, and you'll probably find it. Especially since I've got it's brother, the Gog oughta be just a bout the largest...

Pure vintage, and it has been used, just not much.

Fortunately, I don't need to repaint the entire interior of the house, but my wife and I are completely repainting the two offices and the dining room.

I'll have more to say about this later. I'm currently neck-deep in repainting my house after the contractor tore out the knob...
