    Those thistle cuts take a fantastic edge. I honed one for somebody and I had to fight myself to send it back to them, an awesome shave!

    It was a quiet day today so I broke out the light box. Here are some better pics of the two.

    I'm quite sure he won't part with the Thistle Cut!
    It is one of a kind.

    I don't know about one of a kind but you are right, I won't be parting with this blade. Especially after my first shave with it yesterday, Wow!! It's not that I won't sell just this blade, but any of my blades, almost. I am very selective in what I buy and as a general rule, don't sell any of them. That said, I did pick up a lot of 30 blades a short while ago. Some fit my style, some not, but all good blades. I sold one blade out of the lot and have another pending. I may part with a few more but I don't think so.

    In any event, if I ever do think of selling it Glen will be the first to know.

    Default Old English Razor

    I just got one of these. There are no marks on the tang (at first glance, I haven't cleaned it yet. The lettering on the scales looks identical to the one posted here. Does anyone have information on these razors?

    I'll post pics when I get a chance, just got it yesterday.

Once back in their lair, they transform those razors into perfect shaving instruments, causing mortals like myself to foam at the mouth and twitch a lot. They're diabolical, I'll tell ya.
    Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.
