I bought a bit over a year ago, but I only honed it during this year’s TabOktoberfest, and wrote this little write-up because I think it’s an interesting razor.
I then promptly busted its pristine scales and luckily, Ralf Aust makes scales of almost the same size and shape. I posted the rescale operation here.

I’m sure you’d have remembered it if the pic showed had a closeup of the ship :)
That’s very gracious of you. I’m sticking with the Swiss cheese analogy. My memory is good where there aren’t holes :)
