    Default My latest (& most unusual to me) find

    It was advertised as a Loeffler Sykes "Salesman sample". It has the original box...$3...LOL!
    Anyone ever heard of it?
    I do know it has a "singing" blade.
    I've attached some before & after pics. I had to clean it up a little...first try at that.

    Have you shaved with it? how do you know it is a singer? can you post a pic of the grind from the toe of the razor? Nice blade.

    Well, TBH, I don't know what a "singer" is, but I do know it has a tone none of my other razors do.
    The pics were taken with my phone, so excuse the quality.

    Probably not the way I should've...LOL!
    I got a Dremel w/a large (doesn't come with the kit) cotton buffing wheel.
    I have 3 tubes of rouge (?)...black, red & white. Used a separate wheel for each. Buffed with a soft cloth after each.
    Oh yeah...don't forget protection...& I ain't talking prophylactics!

    My bathroom cabinet's got a space that's just the right shape and size for that brush.

    Singer means singing blade.
    When you strop it you should be able to hear light ringing sound, that is what singing blade means.

    I've got a 20mm Finest on the way for that bad boy.
    It's already somewhat polished up & ready to get "knotted up"!

    So...has anyone heard of this razor before?
