Thats a beauty. I need to get the number of your tooth fairy. My tooth fairy just sends me to the dentist.
I believe I can diagnose the problem your having. The Tooth Fairy brings money in exchange for teeth. The "Razor Fairy" brings razors in exchange for money. Try talking to the Razor Fairy, AND leave your stuffed wallet open.

Picked up this near perfect travel razor the other day, it was dirt cheap.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Joh. Engstrom. Eskilstuna. Sweden It was a Diamond in the rough, hopefully. I rolled the dice, at $13.50. Rusty, crusty, and a little chippy.
I just sent this one to Glen@gssixgun to fix a chink in the end of the edge and in general clean it up, but I love these scales: Joseph Rodgers 6/8
I thought I had acquired my last straight. Evidently not. Maybe now I have. I just received "The Celebrated Acme Razor." I cleaned it up. It needs to be made shave ready, but it is looking pretty good. This is right out of the package. These are after I cleaned and oiled it.
After cleaning up the razor and stropping it really well, I decided I would at least give it a go once. I did the first pass of this shave with the Acme razor and finished off with my Gillette New Standard. It was a very satisfying shave. Tabac Tuesday's Shave Cold Water Wash Tabac B-400 by Tom Wilbert 5/8 Acme Razor Gillette New Standard Tuckaway Gillette Super Thin CWR Tabac AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shave Soap face lathered well with the B-400 Brush by Tom. I did the first pass with my new Wilbert 5/8 Acme Razor. It did fine, but it still needs to have the edge refined. I finished off the second pass with the Gillette NEW Standard Tuckaway Razor with a Gillette Super Thin DE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
This one will be on the SOTD tomorrow - it arrived today and it's a different razor than the one I've posted before, it came up on a BST at a good price so my RAD kicked in and it arrived this morning. Took a seemingly great edge as Fillys do. The scales are a little darker on this one. Cheers, Steve
8/8 Koraat, antique finish, near wedge, square Schorkopf point, round heel with Grenadill scales. Very happy to have this!
Ahh, well I would like to be able to say my RAD had subsided but alas no. I just haven't been posting lately, but I'm 5 more razors richer/poorer. How ever you want to look at it. Two more Wade & Butchers and 3 Dubl Duck Goldedge. I know, I know, Pics, ROFL I will post soon. Here are a few to wet your apatite!
