New toy maybel the last one
Found this one on the Bay and followed up with an offer and again it was taken. Now I have to wait again. Hope it doesn't get here on a slow boat from china.

Easy way to make sure it's the last one? Use my mailing address for all future wins. I won't tell . . .

Thanked: 4828A 14 in carbon steel. They are not that easy to find. I am waiting on mine to arrive. Hopefully all is well. My favorite brand. That one looks to be in really nice shape. They do take a rather nice edge. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. It is very nice. I hope you got a stellar deal.

As hard as they are to come by I think I did ok. I have this one and a round point another square point and a platinum square point and i'm waitng on the Henckel 17 13/16 all are carbon steel. I have the 14 and the 17 in the mail right now and the little 4/8 from japan I really think that's all my nerves can handle.

Thanked: 4828The modern 17's are very similar to the 14 in size and shape but the grind is much closer to a half hollow than a full hollow. I picked up my 14 in the mail today. It is in nice shape but not NOS but it is very close to it as it only has a whisper of hone wear on it still just a smudge over 15/16 and completely even. I am sure with that many in your collection you are well aware of the great edge the will take and allegedly will go forever between touch ups.

Well here I am waiting again. I won this razor off the bay on the 12 and it still not on it's way. I really can't complain the seller said that they only ship 1 to 2 times a week and I understand that but you know it really doesn't make the wait any easier. Like Christmas eve and I can't wait till morning. Ya know.
