Thread: Santa, the Easter Bunny, Unicorns, Hen's Teeth and 7/8 American Steel !!!!

Yes they do exist,

This NOS NY Thistle Cutlery Co. was waiting for me in the mailbox tonight after work..
A full 7/8 of "Can't see a hone mark" of beautiful American steel. The entire razor looks to have never been used just a bit of MAAS and tapitytap on the pin and she is ready for the Shaptons...
When I saw it on e-bay I figured at least a 6/8 and was hoping for a 7/8 I honestly can't wait to shave this one tomorrow.. I saw one that JoeD found a while back and was rather jealous and I have restored maybe 1 or 2 more of these larger sized (6/8+) American blades, but they are rather rare to see...
Anyway here is my newest baby

Glen, nice and pleasant razor. Congrats.

That one's a beaut. Take care of her G.

Michael

MM.Do Want.

Congrats. Enjoy that rare find!!!

Very nice! Another one to look out for....

Very nice pick up.

Oh, that's nice, enjoy in good health.

Does that look suspiciously like a 6/8 to anyone else?
Does anyone else notice that this razor arrived (quite conveniently) the day after a meet where I could personally confirm its existence?




Well...if this does exist than I must say; "good find".

Ok, seriously. That is awesome that you found this and I can't wait to see this.
