Attachment 221699 I really thought i was not going to bid on anymore untill way after Christmas. Then i saw this one and bid before i knew what i was doing. Then it was too late. I was sent a counter offer and again in stead of just walking away i countered. well at least i have one when my others wear out. Now i just have to live that long. The bad thing about it is i don't even know what size it is.
How could you not bid? It stands A No. 1.
Seriously, I bet it will be an excellent shaving razor. It's a Reynolds, right?
It's a great looking razor.
I conquite inderstand that you couldn't resist the tempation.
It look to be at least a 6/8.
Yes Sir it's a Frederick Reynolds. I love emQuote:

Man that's totally a cool razor! Holy cow, I'd have a weakness for something like that too!!!! Great score.............
It doesn't even look like it has touched a hone!
I don't know about this yet but i have a frederick reynolds that looks like it with out the etching and it shaves very nicely. i have about 5 razors that i haven't hone because of the condition being so good with etching that is very clear. This may very well be another that doesn't see the hone. Just one that i can hold and cherish. Then again i do like to hone.
Yeah, I know what ya mean. There isn't a time I never hated honing.Quote:

I'll make up my mind in January after i get back from the hospital. I'll have about 3 months of doing nothing so i'll have plenty of time to decide.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Every One.
I found that when I stopped looking at razors on ebay I stopped finding them in my mailbox. :gl:
Beautiful!

Really nice razor. Too nice to mess with, just a bit of clean and hone/shave, IMO
You are just one 'S' away from having a weakness! :D
