Gonna get to the good stuff shortly I hope.

You mention liking the resurrecting or rekindled relevance Phrank, and for me that's a BIG part of the attraction as well. The cool factor of a tool older than my country itself, becoming useful, and in fact treasured once again,,, I just dig being part of that,, lineage maintaining kinda thing.
I have only two razors from the 1800's. this one, and the Bell Irish blade I restored last year. Both, to me, are priceless..and what I consider my "top shelf" razors..
Cheers.

Absolutely - this is before we became Canada and were simply The Dominion of Upper and Lower Canada...even before the Battle of the Plains of Abraham (thinking of that great song by one of the greatest Canadian bands, The Band's, "Acadian Driftwood").

If that blades anything like one Valery did for me, he said it was like honing diamond, or solid glass on the stones....and yes, it gives a smile that this blade may yet have another 200 years in it.....
