Been lusting after one of the BIG Masonic razors for a while now. Saw this on ebay and gave it my best shot. After getting outbid on the last several, I got tall enough to win this one and spent ALL of my lunch money in the process. :( I'm happy with it as it matches my ring. :)
I'll get her honed up this weekend. It won't take much it appears. Probably fill the worm bites in the scales and run 'er as is.

I've been looking for a nice Masonic blade for pretty good while and have been shot out of the saddle on EVERY one I've bid on except this one. Keep lookin' is all I can say and one of these days you too will find that razor of your dreams. Originally Posted by casus4844

Can't afford to that any more. Gold has gone WAY up and the job I had back then went away and now I've got a family to take care of.
Hang in there. ;)All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
