    I just missed out on one of these De Pews on ebay—big o'l monkey tail—that was in really good shape. Got sniped from my hands by .50¢ at the end....:sad024:

    I believe that W&B is at least a 8/8 or 9/8 blade.....and no, it doesn't need to be a square...;)

    J A Hennckels #14 Friodur in NOS or close to it at least. I see a few go by here and there but I am yet to snag on. It is my favorite brand and I have several other models, including a 14 carbon steel. The search continues.

    My guess would be a Merkur Mergress. Very nice :)

    Is it made of unobtainium? Mithril? Valyrian steel?

    Neolithium I am Canadian, eh

    It's made in small customized batches and tend to sell out within the first 30 minutes of a batch being ready for sale. Excellent razors though, I used to have a regular handled Mergress that had an amazing feel to it for weight/balance.

    I've given up on the desire for a Semogue limited edition, I have enough brushes that I love to use, however I still haven't found one of these in stock at the same time that I have a few hundred dollars available:

    I'd have to say new old stock quality SR... The big brands seem to go for 200-300 minimum...some no name Germans have been going for 50-60... Get what ya pay for? Not sure :)
