Well hopefully I can clean this up and surprise him with a shave ready piece of nostalgia.
Maybe get a free hot shave out of it.

Nice score my friend.

I don't think that 'cleaning it up' will be much of a challenge for you. The trick is seeing if you can get it honed to his satisfaction!

I do hope you will get that hot shave!

Had to Google that Stefan. They look like very nicely machined Safety razors. Very cool!

People say they are probably the best custom DE out there right now, we shall see.

The 30X-25MM loupe made by the C. H. Ina Company that I've had for several years was giving up the ghost as the switch to turn on the LED's was getting 'fussy' so I'd been looking and looking for a replacement.

I finally decided to give this one a go;

http://www.amazon.com/iKKEGOL-Magnif..._detailpages00

I've been playing with it and I'm Pleased. The body that holds everything appears to be an actual block of metal and the unit is 'Hefty' as according to my kitchen scale it weighs 3.5 oz. I won't say the body is made of steel as while it will allow a magnet to attach, it's not a real strong 'draw' the outside is also a metal but a magnet wont attach to it. However it's not aluminum it's quite sturdy.

The 'wrench/key' to remove the cover to replace the batteries is also made of something stronger than aluminum.

Another surprise is that it arrived with a plastic case that has a rubber liner to hold the loupe and there is a small pocket at the bottom to store the key to open the battery cover.

I like the clarity of the lens and the brightness of the LEDs.

I have yet to figure out what the 'ultraviolet' light is going to be useful for but it's between the two regular LED lights so the LED's spreads the light out much better than my old one.





I've got some razors to work on tomorrow so I'm really looking forward to using this new toy/tool.

OH! If you look at the options for buying at the bottom you'll find it $1.00 less and with free shipping.

I just ordered one of these loupes. Thank you @cudarunner !

Good find Roy, with very favourable reviews to boot and at a knock down price thanks.

The uv is for phoney money checking on that loupe, or so mine said in the brochure.
A good find at that price for sure.
