Well I broke my cheap pocketknife and sought to find a replacement (preferably made in USA). I found a misnamed Clauss (made in Ohio) and made them a crazy offer which they accepted. Listed as new and for less than $5 shipped, hard to go wrong.
My apologies to @jimjo1031 or anyone else I may have outbid on this one. The seller wasn't sure if the case and razor are a mismatch, but I think they are this set:
Nah, you didn't, it's a nice razor. I have a '48-'50 Aristocrat, but I could get an older one eventually.......................
Great catch. I repurposed a couple of cases to make one of those cases. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Whew! I think that the Impoverished Patrician (that '48-'50 Aristocrat I scored a few weeks ago) has started me on a new sub-RAD. I'm definitely going to need to pick your brain (and probably a few others) for advice on how to replace the missing case insert.
I also thought of that. It probably won't be hard to make up one, not metal like the original, but of foam and/or cardboard. If you want, I'd give it a shot.
That's pretty much what I was thinking. I'll probably take you up on your offer after it arrives. Thanks!
I finally found my open comb Gem Damaskeene and got it at a reasonable price. It has a case in good condition and a stropping handle. It should be in my mailbox by the end of this week. I’ve been searching for a decent and affordable OC Damaskeene for over a year and two came up on eBay on the same day. Go figure!
Waiting for 2 razors, ordered friday, shipped yesterday: Qshave Parthenon Black (after a tip from a member here ) In a kit with stand. (there is a pic of the kit, but I like the black handle more, so just the razor) And a Gillette Slim Adjustable from Q1 1967 (sellers pic, nicked and put on own website)
