Those are both beauties! Don't you just love it when a package from overseas rolls in.

I'm assuming that's coming from the guy who's been selling razors from the Ragg Family auction. A bunch of those have had some work done to them. I don't know if he advertised that Napoleon as NOS, but it looks like it's been reground. Still a very pretty razor.

The seller deemed it as "as new" and I am totally fine with it. As per the recommendations of one of my friends, he said to just strop and shave with it since the edge is shaveable. It wasn't as sharp as I would want it but it performed well. The blade has a decent heft and was super smooth. It is quite a change from the full hollow and half hollow grinds that I typically use since this had no audible feedback.
Here was my set up today:

That J&W Ragg Paragon razor looks really beautiful with those ivory scales. Indeed looks to be reground, but nonetheless a very nice piece.
