Yep, taping on that pin did have my adrenalin going a little. I started honing the W&B last night and it was a bear to hone with the loose scales. This morning I finished 'er up but taped it open and it went much better. I did the same while stropping it, then had Jr take the pic. Some of the brown near the spine in the pic is from the vintage strop. It's not an every day razor, but then again, none of mine get used every day. This one will probably become the 'Easter' razor. The special razors get assigned a holiday or a day near one.
