Ha! Another C-MON fan! As I mentioned before, Glen, we just need to keep telling people to avoid these old C-MONS as they will certainly disappoint. That way, we can corner the market!

6/8 OVB (Spencer, Hibbard & Bartlet hardware razor) TOBS Lavender SS homemade boar I fell going into a control man hole this week and ended up with a concussion. So there has been alot of things I'm not supposed to be doing, no computer, no T.V., no just about anything I enjoy doing. This is a nice German made blade, takes a nice edge and delivers a very nice shave. Have a good one.
