Blue Steel. My Great Uncles straight razor I restored 80 years old.

I hand sharpen knives and straight razors. My Great Uncle (long deceased) had this when he owned a barber shop in Kansas City back in the 1940's. Taken to 14,000 grit on water stones and then stropped. Still shaves as well as it looks.

Exactly!

Fine piece. I like Parker as a brand.

But they don't make any of the shavers like they used to.

Thanks! I've kept it nice for the 20 years I've had it.
