    Well, I was sorry I missed the last bottom dial on Ebay. So I have been thinking about it for a few weeks and I saw the one on Razor Emporium's site and I went for it. Here it is; I should have it in a few days. I was thinking I like the replate better than the original nickle because I can use this one and see how it drives. No black ring on the neck. I'm going to leave it that way. It doesn't come with a case so I have to get something or have it made.

    The case should be interesting (I mean that both ways). :D

    I was hoping to find a wooden box with a clear lid.

    In a pinch I could use this.

    One of a kind. Might be the most valuable Gillette TTO (JFK's WWII kit is probably more). Under your pillow you say? Hmmmm....:D
