    A Vintage Friday...This morning I used a razor this morning that was imported by M.E. Reppenhagen of Highland Falls, NY; made in Germany; (circa late 1800-early 1900s). Reppenhagen was known more for strops, but obviously broadened out the wares to include straights.

    Wrapped up the week using a Mohawk 3-338 with the original boar knot and an Ever Ready 1912 with the ornate chain link handle.
