  1. Picked up this Canadian NEW LC for a good price in an antique shop out of town this weekend. It came with some 'happy' blades. It has cleaned up nicely.

  3. I finally have a birth year and quarter razor due to @twhite being a very generous guy. It's a beauty. Thank you Tom![​IMG]

  6. I think I mentioned this in the "Waiting To Arrive" thread, but while I was on vacation, a coworker found me a Clix razor at a flea market.

    It's in pretty decent shape though I need to work on cleaning the case more. I'm not sure what version this is, especially given that it has the cap with pins rather than guide bars.
  7. That will clean up nicely

    Got this about Mint German Made Hamburg Ring 6/8th in the Post Today...I Honed it on a My Naniwa Super Stone Progression to 12 K then Finished Her on the Escher Thuri..The Blade Says "Extra Hollow Ground" But its Actually a 1/2 Hollow Grind..In My Experince True Extra Hollow Grinds are Very Rare & Razor Manufactures Often Misuse the Term "Extra Hollow" as a Sales Pitch..:eek:

    The Factory Grind is One of the Best I have Seen..It Took a Spectacular Edge..I Need to Stop Buying SRs in this Condition to Sell as I Just Wanna Keep them for My Own Collection..:happy097:

  9. This came today. Don't see many for sale here in the UK but lots in the USA: lucky you!
    Mr Waits seems to suggest 1961 but does anyone on here have better info?

  10. Definitely not 1961 (no stainless blades in 61 for starters). If not on the instructions did you check the case for a date (M-68 or something like that)? Plastic knob and Schick Krona on the doors suggest 68-71-ish. Oldest Kronas (65-66) have no door markings and metal knob. 67-68 say patent pending.

  11. You,Sir, are a scholar and a Gentleman.

    Says 'Patent Pending' under the razor head. Case marked 'Pat. Pending' then a '2' under the @Pat. Pending'. So, I guess we shoot for 67-68?
  12. That's what I've read, yes.

  15. I was one of the winners of the TSD raffle. My 195 just arrived with other additional goodies. Thanks @John Beeman . This 195 is more than I could have imagined. I will be putting my old 195 up on BST at a steep discount. I only need one.
