    Can confirm that Outback is a miracle worker. You cant go wrong with dropping him a line.

    Who ever you go with make sure they don’t screw up that Lifetime, it’s in way better shape than the few I have seen for sale over the years. Neither look to be in too bad a shape. They are already thin so you may need to put up with a little left over pitting, but to my eye most of it will come out.

    I agree. That is my main concern. If necessary, I may have to try to clean it up by hand myself just with metal polish. Not sure I want anyone taking it apart.

    Gssixgun gemstsar razors, has been doing honing and custom builds and restoration for me almost as long as I’ve been here, tryed several before him so I’m 100% able to recommend. Also as said outback (Mike ) can’t be beat either

    Good to see you are healed from that nasty slice. Do you run a marina? Any talk of boats takes me back to my Coastie days. I'll be in touch shortly.

Size:  71.7 KBA quick shout out to Outback who evaluated my razors, and especially to gssixgun, Glen Mercurio who put in a lot of elbow grease to make them usable again. The Wonderedge is like new and the Reaper is just plain cool. Thanks guys and Happy New Years to all!
