This razor can be difficult to find as it was only in production for a limited time (several months between 1940 and 1941).  The shaves are smooth and it is an absolutely gorgeous razor.

Thanks, @Bird Lives you could have told us it was a shame how bad they shave to make all us poor saps that can't get one feel better.

I hear you....sadly this is one of those razors where I'd like to say it isn't worth it, but that would be a lie -- the truth is that @Bird Lives is spot-on, it's an excellent shaver.  Much like the somewhat challenging to find Open Comb Damaskeene, this one more than lives up to the hype -- at least in my experience/opinion. 

I'm not helping, I know.

A Bunny or a Schick type F. I haven't shaved with either but that would be one heck of a hard choice.
