    Nice Jorge! I really dig those thin bar handles! You might find it odd, but I have never had one. I tried a couple of times to score one, but never could. It's good to see you gave one a good home. Have a good night.

    Look at the base plate, where the handle hits the base. Usually the recession, at the edge of the circle is the LAST place to lose plating. Also, just inside the handle, between the top and the start of the thread.

    It was a movie? I thought it was a documentary from Northern Ontario.

    Yeah, when they were trying to come up with the name for the country, Sir John A. Macdonald and the rest gathered around and argued. Eventually, they decided that they'd put letters in a hat, and whatever they pulled out, that'd be the name of the country.

    So, John put in his hand, and started pulling letters.

    "C, eh"
    "N, eh"
    "D, eh"

    I've looked at it twice now. I want it, but I can't justify that price for one razor. No matter how much I might want to invent new justifications.

    i agree, it was pricey,more than i would normally spend.my wife and i have relatives in the canadian army and airforce,during the fifties and presently.a british ww2 set would be nice as well.i still have my grandfathers darts set from ww2.

    That is actually a reasonable question from someone new to vintage razors. Some guys ONLY shave with old razors. I have tried out the few vintage razors that I have, and will occasionally use one because it is cool to use a tool that has been through so much over a very long life, but I prefer to shave with modern tools. I like having some vintage razors around because they are history and they do still work.

    My second grandfather (in many ways. Spent as much time at his house as my grandmothers) was a Canadian navy frogman in WW-II. Woudl have been nice. At least now I don't have to try to invent a justification :)
