Very nice Gary. Are we calling that a "Frankenrazor"?

Great shave and photo, Gary. The NEW SC with the fat handle and prewar cap is a beauty.

i guess it would be one..although the prewar cap was identical to the beat up brass cap that came with the new sc originally..the handle was corroded in weird spots as well. the baseplate was perfect with no plate loss..so i would call it a new sc with a fat handle..?

thank you charlie, love the avatar...

thank you sir,one of the best fine a/s, they are all good.i haven't tried the vetivers..

Thanks Gary. I grew up with Charlie the Tuna.

Likewise, I enjoy your avatars. Monty Python is always cool, and Marvin the Martian is a hoot!

Great picture, Gary!

thank you..

thank you sir..

It was a test my wife had to pass at her barbers board examination.

Sometimes truth is funnier than fiction.
Well Randy....

I had just honed this razor and it did not disappoint with how effortlessly it shaved. Had three passes that resulted in a smooth irritation free bbs. Now for the bad news, during the first pass I was rinsing the blade off I heard a small pop, I took out my loupe and saw a small crack near the toe. At the moment it’s not affecting how it shaves but I think in the near future I will have to reshape it to remove the crack.

Well Gary, knowing you would know what this one is.
This is what I will use in the morning for the daily shave.

Just another one from the draw. I think it says pat date of NOV 15 04.
Hard to read it.

Sorry about the blade, Paul. Any idea what happened to cause the crack? Age and use maybe?

Not sure Jason.
So far RAZOR EMPORIUM is the only one that does silver I have found.
Still looking.
I don't want it lost or broken.

Thanks Joseph
But it will be a few weeks at least.
Can't get in to the doc till the 20th.
So I'll just keep plugin along.
