Thanks for your compliments :)

Aha! It was you who outbid me on the Jeanningros!

I'm very glad to see it's in capable, appreciative hands. :)

It's simply the loveliest 'disposable' razor that's been made.

Sorry for outbidding you, I just couldn't let this razor go ;) even if it wasn't reasonable for me to buy it at the time.. http://r14.imgfast.net/users/1414/52...iles/12565.gif

I was surprised to win it at this price, it wasn't sold that expensive compared to it rarety.

I'll post a review in the shave of the day thread. :)

Truly a magnificent collection - you are obviously very dedicated to this sport. Thanks for sharing.

No, I recall it went for very little (especially if you weren't exchanging Euros for USD), but I was a bit broke when the auction ended and I couldn't put in much of a bid.

Getting to see your pictures of it is almost as good as having it myself -- I really wanted to see how it was assembled. It's wonderful that you've fixed it up to shave with!

And it shaves perfectly, I just tried it this morning : smooth and soft shave, and perfect BBS ! I posted in the SOTD thread.

Yes, I confess that I've passed a long time chasing for beautiful pieces, got lucky several times (like with my seven days set of Rodgers, which cost me about 100€, plus 80€ of sharpening), sold some pieces to buy new ones, and got slowly a better and better collection. :)

It took me three years to reach this result, so I'm quite optimist about the future ! ^^

The victim of the day :

Can't tell if it's me or this blade...

Beautiful. I saw that on ebay but they didn't ship to the US - and the listing was ended early by the seller.

A neighbor of mine in fact..!

Ah, helps to have nice neighbors. The shape at the ends of the scales is really neat.
