I bought this lot of razors a few months back, mostly for the Tuckaway and the hidden 1939 Popular in its midst:
Well, let's just say the Popular wasn't in near the condition I was hoping for as it had bent teeth, a dropped TTO, and severe pitting that Chris has since declared is the worst case of pitting he's ever had to deal with at razorplate.com! But for 50 the lot, I guess I can't complain too much, eh? Here's what the razor looked like after Captain Murphy worked his magic:
And what it looked like after Chris stripped the plating to reveal all of its raw beauty and hidden damage:
The reveal? I'm almost convinced these 2 fine gentlemen switched razors on me
:
Can't wait to get her in my hands next week and get 'er wet! Her case is already cleaned up and waiting for her.

Amazing! Congratulations on that beauty!
Back inside, back to the tracker, and it says both were delivered and that the 2nd one had been left at my front door. NOPE! Now I'm in a panic, looking behind bushes, scouting the yard - still nothing. So an hour later, while letting the grand-dogs out, I go back to the mailbox. Sure enough, my 2nd most precious package is there - my '39 Popular that you see above, and a #19 Aristocrat that I had sent to CAP for repairs and that he'd kept together with the Popular to minimize postage! The postman had circled back and delivered!!!
