A birthday present...
... to myself.
I have sworn off any new shaving purchases for a while. But when I saw this I had to ask the seller if she would make a deal. Well she did, and I thought it was fair, given that it was probably older than my country.
Mid 1700's, tortoise shell, fancy pins, and French. Think Dangerous Liaisons, and I can imagine the Vicomte de Valmont being shaved with this by his valet.
Anyway, here it is. I kind of like it.

The scales have a few Knicks and chips along the edge, but overall it looks great. I have not honed it yet, as most of my rocks are in storage at the moment, but I'm curious to see how it performs. Holding it might be tricky. No tail, and the tang tapers down to a fairly sharp angle on the bottom.
