It seems Al has three of everything. The last time I PMed him about a razor that I thought was quite rare (my Wosty Doubly Carbonized frameback) he said he had three of those as well.
Getting back on topic, regardless of who you send the blades too, you should end a first class shaver. Elliot's Silver Steel blades are fantastic, and I've never met a frameback that didn't take a sick edge.

Congrats on a great find and great price! I don't know why but I always get more excited and am more pleased w/ antique shop finds than I am w/ EBay wins. Guess it's the challenge of the hunt and of course the price! Now that you scored you got the bug, AAD (antiquing acquisition disorder). I think it is an advanced form of RAD.
Good luck in your future hunts!“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.” (A. Einstein)

Nice find! It will look and shave like new with just a little work. I believe that type of frameback blade is the LeCoultre pattern, and it shaves well.
