Nice find. Congrats.
Geez Colin, You've been doing well at the antique stores. I find persistence pays off. You obviously have more than me. Very nice blade, and looks like it's in super good condition. Watch out for that spike point, those ones always get me.
Yup I know. This is my second one.Quote:

Nice find, I must admit that this razor is on my bucket list. I will have to start searching more diligently. Congrats.
Great scott! I'd like to go out hunting with you some time too! Be sure to post the cleaned up version.. Nice find :)
You also need to be aware that not only are they vicious but need lots of attention and special care... just like a woman.
Very nice razor. Maybe I'll find one somewhere, sometime, somehow........
Mute the point by rubbing it on glass or on the side of a sharpening stone. It works!Quote:

No muting! Ban censorship! 😆
Spent a bit of time cleaning up the blade. Its not without its flaws, but she is 100% better.
I like it, looks great!
Colin, are those scales green????
They look green to me. I think they look great!
I couldn't bring myself to change the original profile to suit my needs. Especially when I have other razors that work better for me. Besides, some day when I get old, and acquire some flab on my neck, I might change my mind about it. :)Quote:

I'd take a smiling wedge anyday, over a spike point.Quote:
