We here at B&B are some sick fellows. You would think with about 40 razors in the den my AD would be under a bit of control. Not a chance. After last week's aquisition of four new Schick injectors, perhaps there would be some fullfillment, some satisfaction. Not a chance. What do I do? Go to the Single Edged Razor forum and start reading about GEMS. I never wanted one before, I just didn't get it. Curiosity got the best of me, though, and off to the 'bay I went--got a nice 1912 and this gorgeous cased Damaskeene. The later came in today, and I couldn't stand it....had to try, even though all I had in the way of blades were some utility single edged blades from my toolbox. I read somewhere that people used those, and I just couldn't wait for the Treets to come in.
So, I lathered up and went for it. Made about a 1 inch pass before I realized that the blade was about as sharp as a rusty lawnmower blade. Finished with my slant. Gee...I HOPE it was the blade and NOT the razor. I'll have to give an updated report when the Treets come in. She's a beaut, though.
