Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Just a quick SOTD before we head off to the relatives...
So, where was I before the Canadian mystery? Oh, yes... the Gold Rush!
Today's shave is with a razor that is pretty much the duplicate of Monday's- a Gold, post-War NDC from when the Pat Nos were still on the "PACKAGE" (i.e., before sometime in mid-1950). I purchased this one at the end of last month for the "rare cover" that came with it; that cover is now being used as a blade safe for my New Deluxe Tuckaway.

For a 70-year old razor, it's actually in pretty great shape and even has most of its original lacquer intact. (I guess the cover really protected it.

)
The shave was uneventful and issue-free, as good as I have come to expect from this combo despite the fact that the blade seemed to be showing its age slightly. All in all, a credit to the men and women who made these razors for our fathers and grandfathers.
That said, I need to ask a favor of the crew. As I said, this is a pretty nice razor, a duplicate of one that has gone by already, and almost as nice as the one in the On Deck Circle. So, would any of you have a use for this razor, either for yourself or someone you are trying to convert? Let me know, I'd like to PIF this to someone who would get more regular enjoyment from it than I would.
