Finally...
I've wanted one of these for as long as I've been straight shaving, and the lucky ebay score finally happened. I'm counting down the hours until this baby gets here...

I love it, but what was it you wanted? Maker, shoulderless, barbers notch, or just that exact razor? I want it too now!

Actually yeah. I've always thought shoulderless razors were pretty cool-looking. I managed to snag a Torrie "Our Beauty" about 8 months ago, but it's quite light, and I have a wiry beard. Plus, the 2 sheffield razors already in my collection have really impressed me.

I'll report back more when it arrives...

Ah ha, I saw the picture and knew at once that was a Reynolds. They have such a destinctive design. I've had both a bigger one and a smaller one with that same design, and both were great shavers. Unfortunately, mine weren't in nearly as good shape as yours is. Congratulations!

Sweeet!
Is that what they call a pseudo-frameback (a unitary razor ground to look like a two-piece)?
