    All from China I think. Not that there is anything wrong with that. All the good Badger fur comes from there, so why not the synths. I know the one you set in the White Queen works well and feels good, too.

    You may be correct there. Although I can get them fro Maggards in about three days compared to three to four weeks from China.

    I think @gorgo2 located the correct color red finger nail polish to do touch-ups on Red Tips. Family Tree Dollar General Store! Umm, no that's not it.
    Try it with a Feather Hi-Stainless, but don't quite lock the knob all the way down. It leaves the blade just right for maximum aggression.

    Thanks, I wouldn't have thought of nail polish, but that sounds like a great idea. I keep forgetting you can adjust the aggression through tension on the knob. Do you know the thread he spoke of the shade or maybe I'll just eyeball it. I was a little bummed to see it was missing the caps, but then I thought "at least it's both and that makes it unique (like me). :D I thought about replacing the caps if I like how it shaves, but the more I think about, I may leave them off like my missing hair.:happy097:

    The closest you can get to the original red tip color ( according to razor emporium ) is a spray paint by Rustoleum called Satin Closet Wine. You can find it at Home Depot

    Nail polish is a good alternative, it is long lasting. But what I like about the spray, you can bake it on in your oven or toaster oven.

    Just got the email back from Nick at Sport Shaving. My Damaskeene replate is complete and will ship out tomorrow. I think it turned out great.
