Ohh he's a tough lookin old beasty Mike.
Very nice!
Nice razor. I like the simple bolster on it. How do you like the groove in the tang? I've never handled one like that before.
I bet the scales and bolster still have a bit of shine to them.
Thanks, the scales though are both broken. I will try to salvage the wedge / bolster though.
She's really a nice heavy grind and what appears to be a lot of hone wear is a result of an extremely shallow hollow.
I'm sure its going to be a fantastic shaver with that smile.

Now that's a crusty old warrior !!....Looking forward to seeing you weave your resto magic on this :tu
Great looking blade Mike. You always seem to find those odd, but great looking blades. Definitely not a bad thing!
They are the only ones i buy now :)
Good news is, if you want to buy straight razors, Tillsonburg has a bunch :)
muhahahaha
Coming to Tillsonberg! Great old razors, and a clean bathroom near by.
