    I will keep an eye peeled for some......
    BUT.... I think it will be some time before you find them......
    Hopefully someone has some laying around.

    You see dead blades in the original scales periodically, certainly more often than you see a whole razor or even a nice blade in oddball scales. I can;t think of a better custodian for that blade. I guess that means you only need the Napoleon now to complete your collection.

    THANKS!
    I do see ones with blades messed up more than good blades.
    I am hoping to find one that is not to $$ (YEAH.... GOOD LUCK I KNOW)

    I am SURE there are PLENTY more that I don't have....
    I could use a Napoleon... You got one?....

    Even the ones that are gassing badly get silly on eBay a lot of the time. Presumably for the bolsters?

    LOL - about six months ago we could of had a conversation.....

    I had the scales, in very nice condition, but the blade turned out to have a small crack in it - yikes! You might remember the thread, got a great price on it and was more worried about the scales, blade ended being the trouble spot with that tiny crack.

    The VoidMonster happened to have the blade only, and a Reaper was born....a smaller razor all around, but very nimble and one of the few Ducks I don't mind using....
