Wow, that's a total unicorn, Jamie-So yeah, you gonna hone it? I bought a NOS razor not long ago. I couldn't bring myself to hone it, and it was just pissing me off sitting useless in my cabinet, so I sold it lol!

I've never been a collector, all razors to me are tools every NOS I have ever owned will be used, just like owning a vintage car or vintage rifle If I can't drive it or shoot it I don't need it. Originally Posted by Kees

Nice Jamie, must be 5 years since you started looking.
Will be interesting to hear how well it shaves.celticcrusader and rolodave like this.Into this house we're born, into this world we're thrown ~ Jim Morrison

Brother I always look forward to seeing your blades.on SOTD and know your collection is stacked with some beauties....But for myself I'm not sure I have ever seen a razor that I like better than that one!! It is just gorgeous!!
You certainly have a number of razors that are more exotic, great etching and.spine work, beautiful custom scales and the so forth so not sure what it is about this one but it might be one of the nicest razors I have ever seen on this forum! Congrats on the long journey to finding one.. Makes it that much more special this way..
Peace brother, Scott WLast edited by TCMichigander; 03-28-2020 at 11:44 AM.
