Yikes, the RAD has been bad this week :w but couldn't pass up these two razors....
Both are winging their way to me and should be here before week's end.
Classic W&B 7/8 American Razor...been on the lookout for a nice one for awhile. :bow

Riga 17/16 -- this will be the 2nd Riga in my rotation...my other one is a beautiful shaver so couldn't pass up this larger chopper. :)

those are two great looking razors! happy for you. jealous of you. =]
Two beauties there, very nice W&B and the Riga looks really classic. Enjoy :D
Thanks fellas! :)
Ah ha! I see your gearing up for your new finisher. Has she arrived?:whipped:
Lol! The finisher hasn't arrived yet, but I'm guessing it may land today (my mail comes late in the day).
very nice American mate, mine was reground however many lifetimes ago alas only has the words & no Eagle
I agree, when I emailed Sergej about his razors, specifically the "Lancelet" style razor, he mentioned, much of his inspiration for many of his razors are the old Sheffield classics.
The first one I received, is akin to the W&B Ottoman razor, then there's the Mappin, and of course razors like the one you posted, a classic FBU chopper.....:)
A. the Nakayama just arrived safe and sound a few moments ago--wow, she's a beautiful stone! :rock:
Substance and Phrank, thanks for your kind comments! When I saw the W&B, I was on it like a hobo on a ham sandwich. Sergej's Sheffield inspiration has resulted in his beautifully crafted razors--saw yours in the Riga thread Phrank and they are gorgeous! :)
Here's my Riga FBU...29.5mm of Tungsten steel shaving bliss....

That's a awesome work of steel, Phrank--you have an amazing razor collection that I always appreciate seeing! :y
Man, if SemperFi and Phrank's wives ever do the math and get together, the party is in danger!
:roflmao
Too funny! Actually I was thinking about that the other day when I made the purchases...thank god I'm single for the time being :w but Phrank may be in for it if his wife does the maths! :rofl2:
If I were married I might have gotten away with two the razors but am thinking the three stones I also picked up might have pushed it a wee bit too far (a lovely Nakayama, a near mint vintage coticule/BBW combo, and a thuri...picked up the last 2 for a song--know too well how 'got it for a song' can be famous last words before the proverbial frying pan strikes home).
