Thread: Couldn't Resist

Saw this one and gave it try. With luck i won it and now the wait for delivery and anticipation of how it will really look has set in. The 5/8 i received last week is a good razor but it is light weigh compaired to a wedge or near wedge 6/8. I'll have to decided which to keep and which to pass alone. I believe this one will clean up good and should hone well. anyway i'll find out when it gets here.

Man, yer on a role eh!? Nice looking blade.

Nice score there. Beautiful lines and just has to be a keeper.

I really don't have the skills that some of the members have here but i believe that i can clean this one up so it will look presentable. One of these days i'll luck up and be able to own a real keeper like i've seen here on the forum.

That one you just posted is a REAL keeper. I'd hand polish the blade and scales with MOTHERS or similar, hone it, and enjoy it.

Yup. Nice lines on that on for sure!

nice pick up. frederick reynolds right. it was on my watch list! i almost stole it from you. =]
i hope it cleans up real nice for you (he said a little jealously).

The razor arrived today and the little spots on it were just dirt. cleaned and polished up great. looking forward to honing and using.

If I had seen those I couldn't have resisted either! The diamond inlay is great

I got it honed today. i used the naniwa 1-3-5-8-12K SS hones and then finished with the suehiro 20K. Stropped on linen and then England bridel strop . Used SRP Sweet Patchouli soap and this razor shaved great. Very smooth and close. This one is indeed a keeper.
