And yes I am whining....in 23 yrs I've called off work once, never late, work O.T when asked, and now I get to watch others that do screw up and call off , get to keep their jobs/ Does this make any sense? uh...no it doesn't.

I'm waiting on this very rare vintage Feather single edge razor to come in from Japan, looks to be in super condition including case and original pack of injector blades.

JOSEPH WOSTENHOLM & Sons, EBRO
The other Joseph Wostenholm EBRO I have takes such a fine edge I had to try another. I find them better that the George in this regard.Last edited by Hart; 06-20-2015 at 04:00 PM.

I saw that one too but when I see a blade etching under that much crud I shudder at the work and potential loss. And the price was probably out of my league. Originally Posted by Phrank

The dirt and crud will come off nicely, I've had some razor's that looked a lot worse come out smokin' hot, if the etchings are anything like the W&B's they will be fine. For me, first I've seen other than a W&B with those markings...but the lovely patina may have to stay...I've always wondered what it would be like to host some Bubonic Plague or an old case of Mariner's VD...
