Carrie did say we could use it but only after she had first use. This is a beautiful razor and due to the ss scale liners adding some weight, a pleasantly unique experience. I see this razor showing up in my rotation from time to time, maybe a bit more that some of the others I have waiting for their turn.

We never had any doubts about your recommendation. We know better. That's why Carrie didn't hesitate to ask you to hold on to one for us. From the grar you and Lynn brought to the meet and the stuff you both gave away, all of your items are top shelf and this razor is no exception. Thank you for the recommendation.
