    Default Orphan razor

    Bought this Hibbard Bartlett Spencer cheap, decided not to change the overall grey patina. Considerable hone wear, but it honed up really easy. A truly wonderful shaver. I love a cheap find.

    Nice razor, my grandfathers Revonoc from the same company has out lasted 6 other razors since it was honed in March. Sometimes very good things come in generic packages.

    HSB razors are excellent, you made a good choice. Not too many razors are going to outshave it.

    Nice score Stimpy! HSB's are great shavers and even better at a low price.

    Not an Orphan anymore, huh? I agree with Mr D that they are great razors.
