Thread: A Few of My Favorite Things

Well, who is that in your profile pic, Froederick Fronkenstein or someone? I figure if anyone could resurrect that thing, you could.

The Lancet is in better shape and just needs to be cleaned up a bit. I'm wondering what you'll think of the scales on the Lancet when you get it- they seem to be a bit on the small side for a hefty grind like that.

I have been looking for a razor with the large gold lettering, hopefully in better shape!

I've been hoping to find some of the less common grinds too. Feather edge, double stage, double concave. Never come across them though. Mostly 5/8" hollows and slightly larger wedges!

I don't know if you've followed the What Are You Working On thread, (edit- just saw from your post above that you have) but I've seen Outback make lettering on scales look like new.

I'm pretty sure the original scales on the Lancet were supposed to be similar to the 75 Cent with gold lettering. Someone has re-scaled it with a small set that has a tiny wedge. It works and centers properly at least.

I've gotten lucky on Ebay in the last month or so. I never used to see the unusual ones either, but then a few have popped up recently.

Well, when I unpinned it for cleaning, there was one spot on the inside of the scales, that was delaminating near the pivot. Nothing serious, but gave me a clue, that tells me they are probably the original scales.

I was very impressed at the overall condition of it, when I had it in hand. Very clean and well kept, for its age.

The more I think about it, those scales are just the right size. The big cutout down the middle of the razor rests right on top of the scales and the blade part sits neatly inside. I'm sure it was designed that way.
