ERN - My 1st "worked" spine

I just snagged this baby. Yup, auction! I think it's a nice find. My very first "worked" spine. Not as ornate as the snake I saw on one gents but, it'll do for now. ;)
What do you all think of these ERN's? Mr. Newbie here don't know squat about em. Edify me, please! Anyone jump right in. Thanks! :)

Sorry for the rotten focus in the pic's. I'm no photographer! :(

That looks fantastic, nice find - I've have an Ern in my collection and it is an excellent shaver.

Nice razor. You will not be disappointed. I've yet to meet a Solingen razor I didn't like.

That is a GREAT find! Lovely condition, and a good razor. I've an old worked-spine ERN Craftsman razor that I've used almost exclusively the last few weeks... very smooth, comfortable shaves and an excellently balanced razor.

Looks great :)

Thanks to all for the "kudos" on my "snag". :D

Cannot wait to shave with it based on your comments. It's in need of a pyramid on the whet stones first though. I will let you know if it stands up to your praises once it's been honed and stropped. ;)

Very nice razor. Like the worked spines.

I have a smiling 6/8 Ern Ator at home that is an awesome shaver. Those ERN edges are very easy to hone up. I wish I could see your pics but Big Brother is breathing here! :rant:

You get to shave with this beauty yet, Phil? I agree with Disburden, my ERN is one of the easiest razors I have to hone... it WANTS to be sharp.

Thanks very much to both of you for making me feel great about my "snag".

I have it in Mr. Abrams hands right about now - or maybe tomorrow it'll be there. I just sent IT and a BOKER I just got off "the bay". Those and my Brummel-Werk should be great shavers when I see em next! ;)
