It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

I used to have this but gave it to my son, who hasn't used it at all. I was going to get a rangefinder to fit on the flash shoe so i didn't have to guess the distance but never got round to it.
Sorry to get off topic yet again

I hope I don't catch too much grief for posting this here, just saw this and thought people might like it....
I can only guess at the prep, choice of soap or cream, and can't imagine as to the quality of the shave.
Some Lumber Jack's shave of the day!!

Another fabulous shave with my Maxtom:

Of course the original scales suck, but it's the steel that counts! :-)
I rescaled mine in white acrylic, used the originals as a pattern and the original wedge, the other one I have still has the original scales. And yes Dorothy, they do suck...Last edited by JoeSomebody; 02-08-2013 at 10:59 AM.
