Dropped by one of our local antique shops on the way home today and found this 5/8 Thistle cut with a trout? or some kind of fish etched on the blade. Now we don't feel so bad letting Glen have the one off Evilbay :)

You will enjoy that ThistleCut, they are great shavers!
SWEET!! Oneday I'll find the good ones :D
I'll tell you, Carrie; the way you all find razors like you do, it must simply be a fact that the East Coast held the highest concentration of clean shaven men bar none. In the Midwest, when you buy razors at an antique shop more often than not.......they're gone. You're area has an endlessly replenished supply. Nice razor. It's SO much better buying razors in person that on Ebay, isn't it?
Where's the smiley for extreme jealousy?

EXTREME Jealousy !!!!
And mine still isn't here :(
you guys are gonna make me hone mine one of these days.
it always struck me as extremely well made razor, workmanship comparable to boker, but as our honemeisters know i'm a bit of a LB :p
Simply elegant! Those butterscotch scales look good enough to eat. My two quickly reach and hold a nice shaving edge. Very nice fish etching, too.
Beautiful razor. I usually don't care much for the etchings on blades, but that fish is great! +1 on what Chris said about razors being hard to find in antique stores in the Midwest. I keep seeing these great hauls being purchased on the East Coast and I'm thinking it might be about time for a visit. :)
I think it's probably not as much that the East Coast had a higher concentration of clean shaven men as it is that the East Coast had a higher population concentration than the Mid West/Western regions in the early 1900's More people, more razors... makes sense to me.. I think :pQuote:
