Man, that kind of makes me sad that I passed on that one (at least I'm pretty sure that is the one I passed on). I am doing all I can to keep my RAD in check... and right now that means that I am only looking right now... no buying. It takes some serious willpower, and frankly it is killing me. Yesterday I passed up a BIN for around 30 on a big W&B for barbers use chopper that people have been buying for around 100 bucks lately... I promised myself I wouldn't cry. Anyways, great snag glen, glad you got a good one!

"The Wedge" I have is the same. (shhh... I think German steel is highly overrated

Yeah it's a keeper already sitting in the American Steel drawer next to the Kinfolks "The Ace"
). That Top Notch is my treasure. Only one other member here said they have one and I haven't seen or heard of any more. I should probably get a Blue Steel to fill out the set. I know they might have made some fancy scales but I don't know of any more models. (of course, now there's going to be a run on them 
)

Very nice snag Glen!
I love hearing and seeing great finds from the people here on SRP! It's people that share stories like your that keeps my RAD at it's peek. Thanks for the info on Kinfolks. I didn't know that they were Case family.

Well Glen, that razor looks great.
Just for the heck of it I took a quick look at the bay and found this one, item 380119284331. Yes, I went ahead and bought it.
It would thrill me to death if it shaves like the one you have described.
Thanks,
Rick

They are great little shavers, if you like full hollows and smaller blades...
