Jones MFG CO. CHICAGO IL 5/8 Round Point

I picked this up on a another forum. Haven't received it, these pics are from the add. I thought it was cool that it was made in Chicago, I live in the Chicagoland area.

Hope it looks as good in person.

Very nice blade! Hope it shaves as good as it looks.

The razor came in and it looks as good as in the pics. I'll give it a go this weekend.

Tried it today, not real good. Not shave ready imo, got some pulling and had one skip that resulted in a small cut.

It also has a loose pivot pin. I'm not fond of a blade flopping around at all.

Going to send it in and have the pin tightened up or re-pinned and a fresh hone.
