    Also, note that the tang stamp has a weird curve to it; ScienceGuy had this to say about it, "What's most interesting to me is the distortion of the stamp - it looks as if the stamp was applied and the blade was given a last shaping before hardening."

    The stamp is "warped" in a different shape than it appears to me would have happened if it would have been applied before the final shaping.

    I lean more towards the idea that the stamp itself was warped.

    Oh my word-that is a gorgeous big beast of a Rogers, and nearly immaculate!

    Off topic: I have become a huge fan of WhollyKaw "croaps" myself-some of the best I've ever tried on all fronts. Ive got eight samples I'm working my way through. Enjoy!

    I have the Monaco Royale and Chypre Rose Concerto soaps. I'm not a big scents guy but both smell very nice with the CRC being a definite rose scent. Be sure to try their aftershave products as well if you haven't already. I can't remember if I have tried their splash but the toner is nice though I am not too sure about the virtues of the Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer that they really hype. I guess I just don't get any real razor burn to need it. The balm is top notch; it comes in a small can like Edge/Barbasol shaving cream and one pump is twice what you need to make your whole face feel like a baby's butt.

    Amazing razor as I said would have loved to hone that one.

    I'd love to have a big chopper like that, but I can't spend $500-$800 for one, so I guess I will have to try to make my own. I didn't know they came that big. I saw a G. Britton that is a 19/16" size and I thought THAT was big. Geeesh! Watch out!

    Actually, I meant to say that the G.B. I saw was 1 3/8, I think.
