I'm looking for a single ring. I don't want a collector's razor, so box, brochure, and old blades don't interest me. I'd like a serviceable example of this venerable piece of shaving history. I'd also like the option of shaving with it, so I'd like a razor without head damage.

You guys are trying to get all my razors, aren't you? I had no intention of selling my '22 Bulldog, then erudolph posted a WTB and nobody else jumped in. Now you want a Single Ring. As you know, I have an excellent '07. I do hope someone else comes up with one for you. Not sure I'm ready to part with mine. Good choice though, it's a great razor and a true piece of history! Please somebody offer this man a Single Ring so I can keep mine!

Actually I see the wiki doesn't have a picture of a single ring, so here's a link to a single ring on Mr-Razor's website. Mr-razor.com has great photos! Originally Posted by meglad

I would like to buy the one in the picture for $8.00. Is that reasonable?

I agree with erudolph. That is an outstanding job of cleaning and polishing. Beautiful.

Thanks, it looks better now. That was the initial clean-up. I've since gotten the knurling cleaner with a brush. It looks even better in person than in the photos.

I got mine and it looked a wee bit dirty, so I used a soft toothbrush and mild soap.....and it looked twice as bad when I'd finished! It was clean though. Originally Posted by New Orleans

Maybe if you threw in a complimentary letter opener or something of that nature.... Originally Posted by davecmu
