    No lid, and amazingly the wonderful lavender scent lasts extremely well.

    Thanks - really happy about this one. Works great and can see myself using it on certain days. It also looks great (subjective of course) :)

    I Got My Factory Fresh NOS Herder Solingen Stainless 5/8th Today in the Post..I Honed her Up in Jig Time..I have Read Elsewhere in Some Forums that Stainless SRs Take Longer to Hone..That's Not My Experience..I Have Also Heard Some Say Stainless Blades Don't Take as Sharp an Edge as Carbon Steel Blades..That's Not My Experience Either..In the Contrary..:D

    I Have Never Honed a Current Stainless SR but the Few Vintage Ones Around that Used this Steel are Just Awesome Shavers..Herders are No Run of the Mill Solingen SRs..This is My 2nd One..They are the Cream of the Crop..It Took a Wicked Sharp & the Finest of Edges..I Could have Shaved with this SR from the 1 K Stone..:)

    Use One Layer of Tape on the Hone..It will Set it Up for the Rolls System Tolerances to Perfection..A Wee Tip..When You Hone these Blades at the Finishing Stage Use a Bit More Pressure than Normal..They Will Be Refined No End with Pastes..They Were Designed that Way..;)

    Also..Use a Bit of Pressure with the Pastes & Double the Sets You Would normally Use for an SR..At Least..Trust Me..Reason..The Rolls Uses a Pressurized System & the Bevel is Rock Hard..Its Machined & Hardened in a Particular Way..:)

    Take a Look Under the Lens..Its a Weird Set Up..I have Had a Number of these Blades Sent to Me that have been Honed by SR HoneMeisters..Most of them Don't Understand How this System Works..:D

    Will post pic of razors later. I like this watch I found in a run down shop while visiting parents. New battery, everything works. Bright blue indicators and appointments (not visible here) really pop.

    Cool watch. I like watches. Especially if they have extra dials and buttons!!

    They work -- at first I doubted but when I loaded the battery I was pleased to find out it's an actual functioning chronograph.
