Went to the used SR lot up in the north end of town. Dropped a jackson on a Kinfolks Blue Steel Special. It had the most plausible edge of anything parked there. This morning I have been reading @Chan Eil Whiskers posts about his KBSSes, hoping I didn’t buy trouble. Work to do in any case.

Won my second of these vintage NOS Dorko razors today. Both of these eBay auction wins have been at the low end of what they tend to go for (bargains relatively speaking). Today's was lower priced than the first I won.
I'm pleased and a bit surprised to have won this one.
Happy shaves,
Jim
After collecting mainly Japanese razors I am staring to diversify and looking into some old steel.

The first is a custom-restored Birko Best Solingen 6/8 with 2.5" blade, also seen here:
Mutant Hybrid #3 "The Darkness"
This one used to be a Birko Best 6/8 (Solingen). The first 2 of these fixed blade razors I've made had 2 piece handles glued together around the tang,sharprazorpalace.com
The second is a very heavily used Fili #14 at 3.25" long. It was originally an 8/8, but is now a 5/8. The next pic is a length comparison to a full size Weck shavette with 2.25" blade.

Very nice indeed, I’ve come to love Torrey razors very much I now own five and looking for a wedge such as yours. Enjoy
I really like that first one. Everything about it is gorgeous and meticulously done well.
