    and just for the record, today is opposite day.

    was going to mention that.

    OP - be aware that those perfect looking green celluloid scales on that Otto are prone to cell rot. Which sucks especially on these razors as they are extra hollow and don't have much meat to be eaten by those gasses. I would just keep an eye on this razor at least weekly and also segregate it from the rest your soon to be large collection!

    Alternatively, send it to me. I promise not to return it. lol Well done mrchick!

    Thank you. It doesn't appear to have any yet and I am going to be careful with storage.

    It's off to be honed by Glen at Gemstar Customs. I look forward to shaving with it.

    I got it back from a Glen and shaved with it today. It shaved beautifully. This is a sweet razor that I look forward to learning with.
