    Default Army and Navy razor

    Came across this razor on a trip. An Army and Navy razor by Imperial Razor made to celebrate the Spanish American war. It has plain Bakelite scales. It was an easy clean up but to0k some time to get to the good steel due to rust on the edge. Eventually took a nice smooth edge though. Happy with it.

    What a coincidence, I just scored one of those on eBay the other day for $11.50, item #301315664752!
