    Default Fox Cutlery 11/16 Square Notch Semi-Nude Metal Scales

    Well this morning when I nicked my strop for the first time in about a year and a half shaving before heading off to a fairly large antique show, I figured it meant I'd either have good or bad luck in my search for razors.

    I picked up a 8/8+ WB For Barbers Use chopper in need of some cleaning.

    The blade has some spritzy type water stains but is otherwise in excellent shape as is the edge.

    I enjoy the pix members put up of their razors, but don't think I've ever commented. But, making an exception, that is one very nice razor. I really like it and wonder where you store it and when you are going to be away from your home. Would you be willing to just leave it in your mailbox for me to make it easy for both of us?

    Lovely. By the way, here is some background on the MFG. Your razor is not in the SRDB, yet, but we have two others.
