Congrats om having two find daughters and the shaving gifts they scored for you. Once I started into straight shaving my son and CarrieM have gifted me several shave related items. These items will always hold a special place in my collection as I am sure your gifts will. Be sure to let them know how well they did in their selection!

I do not know much about the Reno razor but being a Solingen I would expect it to be a great shaver. Be careful of metal polish around the gold wash as it may remove it. I would say a good washing w/ soap and water should be good for a while. Maybe a future gift would be to get the back scale replaced and the blade buffed up, bit for now I would use it as is once honed.

Congratulations. i know how you feel.
In fact it is priceless. Enjoy.

Your daughters cared enough to get you something they thought you would want, and they certainly did that! Nice coticule and that blade looks good too-deserving of a new home in some good scales. Have nothing on the Reno line of razors, but what a chopper. Happy birthday.

Well worth being "belated"! Congrats and congratulations to your daughters, very thoughtful of them.

And a belated b-day wish back at you.

Yes they did very well!
By my measure of things you
can get socks or a bad a tie for the
next 20 years and be well ahead
of the game.

Enjoy in good health and have many more
happy days.

They didn't know exactly what they were looking for except that I always talk about sharpening stones and razors.

Look what they bought me. A 15/16 razor and a sharpening stone!
