Swish! I had a Borlange made Bengall near wedge for a while - nice easy razor to hone and gave a nice easy shave.

I found this Peerless on the wild for a decent but not amazing price. It's my second straight. The blade is a lot thinner than my W&B so it will be interesting to see the difference. Although I am terrible at shaving with a straight, I'll hopefully get better. Seemed to be in great shape except the initials carved into the attic scales, so not a huge concern. I found the Fatboy at the same time for a really good price and couldn't turn it down.

I've never seen it before. It looks really good. What kind of bird is it?I just bought this rare bird. It takes Feather blades.

+1, interesting looking to say the least
Durned if I know. I've never see one before either. Which is precisely why I had to have it!
This is my first true straight razor purchase, only $5. I hope that it can be made usable. It was buried in a bag full of razors at an antique store. To my untrained eye, It looks to be. The scales have some scuffs but no cracks.

treats from the mail man!
Yeah, it looks fine ... just hone up and enjoy. They don't all have to be perfectly clean and shiny, in fact, it's the mucky, gnarly ones I like the best. Have fun!
Filarmonica Novodur in pity condition. 8/8.

Looks very much like the one I have - (mine has quite a bit of hone wear too)
If you can find someone to hone it up for you it should shave well.

I almost bid on that but won this right before it ended.
I'd never seen one either, looks cool.
This was in my mailbox today.
It looks like its never been honed before.
Congratulations man, that's awesome!
Thanks, I wanted one so bad after seeing yours!
Now the search for a Galetea Especial like Mango's.

I was very careful, wore gloves, two sets, one for each colour, made sure my living room didn't turn a redder shade of scarlet, or a greener shade of viridian. Still need to be careful, the prepared-leather is still... "wet"
