Thanks guys I'm looking forward to trying it out.

All but two blades are used, and in need of honing, and cleaning.
Yep, only one.
They hone just like a straight, with one layer of tape. Ya just have to mind the stabilizer.
I did add a slight grin to the blade, so I could shave without the guard. ( seen in pic with guard attached ).
Found this nice 13/16 MJ Higgins at the flea market today, near wedge with etch and pearl inlay on scale. It is a hefty sucker.

Stopped into my favorite little mercantile today and picked a couple of things up. Of course I had to stop into an antiques store as well. I picked up a Robeson Sure Edge "The Razor that fits your face".
