    I've never heard of this brand before but I do love big blades. It's got great style and a sophisticated look. Great Find!

    I expect it shall shave as such; "Sophisticated....very sophisticated. It's a mature shave if I can say so myself." Appollo IS quite the sophisticated man!
    I am so thinking so! Shave report tomorrow, Morgan?

    Nice blade! Have grown to love them 'as they come' (within reason). Always a certain charm to them that way, bug bites and all!

    rest assured, the scales are bitten bad but they are intact as far as what matters to using a razor! dont need to be pretty for me to appreciate them.
    Yep, we both know you're no newbie, after all, I won one from you on eBay once & I've seen you sell many nice ones!

    it's a beauty, and in no way looks honed flat. Just a wonderful purpose built design.

    silverloaf, now I remember which razor it was I won from you on the bay. It was that Marsden someone had made the wood scales for a long time ago. It is around here somewhere but I left it that way since the scales were so old even though someone made them. They really don't look that bad!
