You won't be sorry. They're really nice. I'd recommend the "barley" handle, if you can get it. The chrome and lined-chrome handles are a bit slippery. [But the "barley" was my own choice, so I'm biased.]

There's one more triad of antique stores nearby that I want to check tomorrow, otherwise I might just have to go with a new one.

...And of course, there was a near mint Super Speed waiting at the final store today after I ordered the EJ89.

I can see how this can become an expensive hobby!

If you didn't buy the Super Speed (because you don't need it), that's the first step in controlling costs. If you _did_ buy it, you're on the way to Razor Acquisition Disorder.

Once you get RAD, you'll fit in perfectly, here.

So naturally you bought it, right? I mean what else were you supposed to do? Welcome to the enablers club
