Two weeks straight with the IXL and I swear, it gets sharper with each shave. Maybe its the Kanayama!

This razor quickly jumped into my top two favorites. Very nice weight plus I just love the shape.

Holy hanging hairs, Horace! This sucker is sharp. Made from a GD. Nice shave and very close.

I was trying to stay loyal to my F.W. Engels 5/8 #45.... but since this razor showed up on the scene,..... "Katy bar the door!!!"

I love the C-MON razors. I have a couple that I saved from the rust devils. They are great shavers and can be had relatively cheaply still. Your picture makes me want to use one of mine this morning. Will dig one out.

This one was my first real restoration project and it still holds a place in my heart. Doesn't look great but it is acceptable and makes me feel good when I use it. Stropping it up in 5.

I know what you mean. I just bought another one off "the Bay" for less than $25 shipped.

C-MON "Blackie" an Antique mall purchase a couple 3 weeks ago. Getting lots of face time. Nothing spectacular but ohhhhh what a shaver!

Very nice Mike.
