Keep it up and you’re going to have to start wearing sunglasses when you enter your den

Billy..

Who are you trying to kid Billy, that's not really you.

Billy is always surrounded by the women.

At last, my NOS John & Wm Ragg has arrived. Freshly honed courtesy of @Billyfergie who knows just the kind of edge that I like It’s a beauty I found hidden away on the internet. It had been part of the Ragg family auction in 2016 and the buyer still had it in inventory - unused. It’s heavier than most razors it’s size as it is just barely a quarter hollow 11/16ths.

I may have a short delay in putting it into action as I am in the process of testing a couple of safety razors as part of a pair of pass-arounds. When it rains, it pours

Pics or it Doesn't Exist..

Billy..

@Karl G That is a great back story. Beauty!

Yeah - I got trigger happy on the original post - sorry about that

OK, minor correction, Billy pointed out to me that he thought it was bigger than 11/16th. And so it is - 6/8ths:

Aye..Thats the 6/8th I Sent Ya..I Thought it had Shrunk in the Post..

Billy..

Can anyone out there tell me if Gillette ever made a straight razor? I know King Gillette was the master of the DE but I'm just curious if he ever made a straight....

Seen Plenty of Wilkinson Sword SRs..Cant Ever Recall Seeing a Gillette..

Billy..

Awesome thanks for your reply Billy much appreciated. Definitely going to try and find a Wilkinson Sword SR

Just picked up two new Classics. The first is a NOS Nichiri Tokusen 6/8 by Diamond Hayashi Co

And the second is a Sheffield ‘Manhattan Cutlery’ 13/16. Dated to between 1861 and 1900.

I am sure you are going to love the Hayashi, very nice!

Two excellent additions! Congratulations.

My son recommended a Saito SK3. Here are photos of the one heading to me.

That's a beauty.

Thanks, Keith!

Thanks!

Jeff, I own a SK-3, used it this Friday. Congratulations, she is fantastic razor but I hope you don't find her too lite.
