    Very cool but a bit scary looking. She does have good taste.

    Always a joy to see that razor.

    Another 200k edge, this is a Geneva 6/8 (pre '36 merger) Pyramid 7. This is the only Geneva I own. @Steveclarkus said I needed to experience New York steel. I highly recommend trying to find a good Geneva. The Pyramid 7N is the 5/8 version.

    These are most likely not the original scales, but I like the personality they give to this blade. :)

    Razor- "The Palmer #41" , Chicago. A hotel razor.
    Brush- Omega 10098, boar
    Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy scented
    Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy. Hitching Post decanter
