Joining the Fillie Fanciers
I just got this NOS Para Barbas Duras...I like the black scales, so whe won't be going to visit Max or Glen...
Here's the funny thing. This blade has been locked in some box for what, 50 some years? I open it up, test the blade, and it's pinging hairs like mad. Strop it up (normal routine, 10 linen, 30 rough horsehide, 30 cordovan) and the hairs just lie down and die.
I shaved with it tonight, and OH MAN, do I get what the fuss is all about. What a beauty...looks AND legs.

Holy crow! NOS!? Seriously nice snag there - and to think, it's been sharp for 50+ years just waiting for you to use it!
Great to see - I'm sure you'll really enjoy this one!
