Those curves look really... just really, I like the look.
Interesting design. I enjoy that look.
Great looking razor! It must be tricky to strop. I've seen one like it before, and would love to have one
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. I have always liked that style ERN.
There's an example of a razor thats so odd looking, but the oddity of it makes it beautiful.
I really dig that.
Killer dude!!!
Many companies used such handle form, but the blade geometry is interesting and beautiful.
Nice razor.:)
Must be the prototype as it's stamped 2000. The Jetsons are from 2062. :)
Only YOU would know that bit of trivia, Oz!Quote:

I do wish I could date it. The box in which it came looks quite old!
You'd think with all the brand names Ern used he'd have given that one a cool name.
manah do you have any idea as to the time frame/when this could have been made?Quote:

Wow that is awesome! Maybe its from ERNs skunk works? ;) looks very 60's to me (coming from someone born decades after that)
Ern's Skunk Works? Enlighten us!~Quote:

Res! Rastro Rooove Reorge!
I believe that the term "Skunkworks" was first used for P. Kelly's shop at Lockheed - that developed the U2 and then the SR-71 shortly after that (they keep that secret longer) this was in the 50's for the U2 and the late 50s and early 60s for the SR-71 "Blackbird"...which was way way ahead of its time, I believe that most of its "published" records still stand. The same team that developed the F117 and probably a lot of things we don't want to know....and they used slide rules....Quote:

Good Question! It feels comfortable in hand and strops easily. I have not shaved with it, but feel it will handle normallyQuote:
