Thread: It's been big week for my stack of razors...

Also, the eBay vendor replied to me. They didn't receive any information from the person they sold it for, and were unable to turn up anything in putting together the listing.

So YOU are the scoundrel that outbid me on those sweeties! Looks like we have similar tastes in old steel. Well, to be honest, I was not trying that hard to win. I have to pare down the collection some before I seriously start looking again. I am in agreement with Martin, not piano keys. I would not be so quick to think them replacements. And I am glad you appreciate that neeto wood fix! We should start a club called "The Repair Room" or some such. I have seen some great cob jobs!

As a general rule, if it's weird and old and you got outbid on it, it was probably me.

I've now shaved with one of the two Magnum Bonum razors. It took about 20 minutes to get it into shape using Nun2Sharp's nice hone progression. I go slow, so if he'd done it himself it probably would've been more like 5 or 10 minutes of work.

It's twin had some corrosion in the bevel so it needed more work done than I had time to do.

Those are aptly named razors. They are great like a sequoia and good like sunshine.

I never liked shaving with the gigantic blades. Turns out, that's just because they weren't old enough! Gimme a 200 year old wedge and I'm happy as a clam with an enormous razor.
