the soligren that i almost bought.
I felt as i should tell you this story of heartache and loss, so the other members can sob along with me. here it goes.
I went into my kinda local antique shop this afternoon, hopeing to find something i havent seen yet, and came across this razor box with soligren stamped on the outside, for 5 bucks. Well needless to say my heart jumped, the thought of a possible diamond find was giving me shivers. The store worker opened the cabinet, and i opened the box. Well to make the story a little short, lets say i was looking at a 5 dollar box, cause the razor inside was nothing short of ruined. when i pulled the top off the box, part of the scales came with it. the blade was so rusted, that i dont believe there would have been any way to save it, and for you folks who do more restore's than i could ever dream of doing, you would have pretty much chucked it into the bin the moment you held it. the rust layer looked like mud to me. all i could do was put the top back on the box, and put it back, silently sobbing at the loss of a wonderful old blade.:needcoffee:
