    Thanks. There are several dates on it and I was trying to see how old it could be.

    I have that blade and was wondering the same thing. All I know is that it was made after the dates on the blade - obviously they're proud of the awards! It's a good shaver though.

    Looking at that one either he's going to have to hone it, or have it sent out for honing before it's useable for shaving. If you have to send it out, there are some great honemeisters that hang out here. Let us know if you need help finding one (if he doesn't hone or if you want it shave ready for him for Christmas).

    I told him about it a little early lol. He's found someone to restore it I'm pretty sure, but I'll let him know there are still options. I'm just having fun finding out the information.
