Thread: My first W&B Celebrated

Got this beauty in the mail today. Its mint, never been honed and as of right now I don't honestly know what to do with her...

From the looks of it, I would put a layer of tape on the spine and hone it up. I have had a few like that. They hone up sooooo easy and shave wonderfully. Nice work!

Very nice razor indeed. Hone it up and give it a test shave, if you don't like it, well, there may be a member or two willing to take it off your hands.

I'm sorry to tell you that it's junk. Please ship it to "MapleLeafAlumnus, Lake Michigan, Michigan,..." for proper disposal (which involves a large bonfire, a keg of Kokanee, and esoteric incantations whilst Hooter's girls toss hot wings at my feet).

Sweet find, enjoy.

Location Earth

Panhandle boy huh? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth,_Texas

Called my boss from Muleshoe one night, which just happens to be 12 miles from Earth. HE wanted to know I was. I told him I was 12 miles from Earth. A short silence ensued and he told me to call him again after daylight and to save some that dope I was taking for him to try.

That razor sure is pretty, I'll swap ya one with some "neighborhood" on it and and probably not ask for much boot.

Hone that darlin up and use it for what it was made for.

That's not a real address. You're missing a street name, number to correspond to your exact location and a zip code. That blade will never make it to you without those proper pieces of information. You should not be on this forum unsupervised. Grab the nearest adult and proceed.

EVERYBODY in Lake Michigan knows him.

( Few will admit it openly though )

Handsome blade there! Let us know how it shaves ... And how Lake Michigan was.

Ah! And there lies the conundrum. Much of the value is in the NOS unhoned state for a desireable razor of that age and status! It's only NOS once!!! I couldn't hone and use it and I can't actually tell you why, except, you'll have razors that will shave as well as this one, but you'll never have one in the NOS state of this one. The following is my dilemma. Couldn't get images to load from the archive with my IPad so here's a link to the razor, post #26. http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...-models-3.html
