Hmmm...Maybe I was the idiot who outbid you. That's where I got it, but that was over two months ago. It wasn't "shave ready" when I bought it, though. I got it spruced up a bit and honed by Bob Keyes. A great guy.

It appears that you are doing quite alright with that vintage Griffon of yours. Congratulations.
