My first SR arrived today!
W.R Case and Sons Bradford PA on one side. King of Whiskers on the other. I want to give it a try but will have to wait until it gets honed.Last edited by BearRae50; 12-08-2014 at 08:46 PM.

Congratulations: give us a full report after your first shave. Those old case razors are excellent shavers.

Case indeed are excellent razors. While waiting to get it honed, you can use some Maas polish to clean it up just a touch. It's in nice shape overall, a bit of a shine and it's good as new.

This Genco just arrived today. Now with two i should always have one ready if I have to send out for a re-hone.
Also of note: I'm obviously not a great photographer."It's strange that men should take up crime when there are so many legal ways to be dishonest."

If I might make a suggestion, don't rest the blade on anything like it looks like you're doing in your last 2 pictures. They are very delicate. Once honed it should never touch anything but your face and a strop...until you get to honing yourself.
