Thread: finely got it

I have been waiting on pins and needles for this to arrive. today when I went to the mailbox to my delight there it was. My precious ( reference to lord of the rings). I just shaved yesterday so i'll have to wait until this old man beard grows some to use it. Ah anticipation. waiting again. I know I should have more patience than this but waiting has never been a virtue of mine. I do know if it shaves as well as it looks and feels I'll be more than satisfied. Max outdid himself with this one or at least that's my humble opinion. I know that in the past I've had trouble with points but I don't believe I will with this one. it has a slight smile and I have one other razor with a smile and I have no trouble with it. I now have 4 of the razors I need to make my display case. when I get all 5 I will put them in a case and display them on the wall. I do want a case I can open and use these works of art. I've decided to display and not keep them hid. anyway this is no. 4. hope ya'll like it.

That's a stunning old razor, what a gem. Use it on good health!

I love the I. Barber razors (even though I don't have any myself!)

The 'Coby' to John Barber's 'Sony', and yet still fantastic razors. They're a real testament to the workmanship of old Sheffield, that the 'cheap knockoffs' could still be that good.

And of course, now that Max is done with it, the only way in which Isaac Barber's razors weren't quite as good as John Barber's has been fixed -- the quality of the finish and the scales!
