George Brittain Straight Razor circa 1780-1840, With Leather Cases
I figure as I finished typing, "George Brittain straight razor" into the eBay search engine, the seller must have just hit submit as I saw this posting. So, like Bill Clinton on an intern, I bit the button like one of Pavlov's Dogs, and this is on the way to me.
It's obviously going to get cleaned up and honed, but this beauty looks so good, it will all stay original. Can't believe I got this one, another awesome, early Saturday afternoon.

Been looking and seeking this blade out for the better part of a year, never even came close. Only place I've seen one of these was here at SRP.
