Thanks Larry. I've been admiring your parade of turtles as well [emoji106]
Thank you Dave. I blame Alfredo, he made the scales look so darn good, I just keep reaching for that razor, lol. This burl reminds me of cream poured into coffee, fitting for a morning shave. I really enjoy this one because its original scales were ebonite and that burning tire / cat pee stench really broke the zen of the morning shave.
Dan you really have a talent for finding unusual razors. I've been trying to find a good Törnblom or Hellberg of this model and size, 18mmm, for quite some time, so far I've failed.Klas Törnblom Eskilstuna Sweden (18mm) Concave or Rattler Grind

ERN with new scales.
How different we are, I find your new scales to be really beautiful, but I guess ebonite to me is a part of the history and authenticy of a razor. The cat pea smell eventually gets to be a mark of quality to me.Thank you Dave. I blame Alfredo, he made the scales look so darn good, I just keep reaching for that razor, lol.

Nice razor and very much a Royce razor15/16 W&B
Reground 3/4 hollow, I'm guessing. I've had wedges, they're really neat, just not my favorite grind. This old regrind is right in my wheelhouse. Thin yet still has some mass to it for mowing down beard growth. There seems to be something about Sheffield Steel, at least this one, that has an inherent softness to it. It was pretty easy to hone and appears to glide smoothly along my face. If it was not for the sky rocketing price of some of the more popular W&B's I would most certainly collect more.
