Scrupleworks Vegetable Tanned Horsie .. 30/50

I love my costly and highly thought-of razors as much as the next guy, but many here are gifts or have other sentimental value attached to them, for one reason or another. This Black Diamond was the first straight razor I bought off e-bay. It's going back a way, but I think I paid $14 for it. When it arrived, I was surprised to find it in virtually as new condition, in it's original coffin... the blueing on the tang and the back of the spine and all. This iteration is off my Nakayame Kiita, but I've always gotten a great shave no matter which stone it had seen last. There are better looking blades,but this one's home is secure!

The background speaks for itself... I've been a Beatles fan since my cousin in Wales used to send me their records .. Ohh, about 1963 or so.. Not much has changed!

Here's to another fine week, gents!

Great story Druid; sentimental value makes an average razor shine. Good to hear it stays home!
You're also right about Waveflow's Worldmaster; it is breathtaking; for sure you like the blueing on the Tang :-) , I know I do!
