I already have a super fine Arkansas stone, so a strop should put me in business.

Tom,
Another one of those optical delusions? I don't see anything.

Oops! Try it now.
I did a little Googling and Easy Aces seems to be a Solingen blade made for the American market and I found a couple for sale in the $140 range. Too bad mine was chipped.

OK, I see it now. Probably because I'm consuming a cold Killian's though.

I think that was my problem as well. Now that I'm working on a glass of my Scotch Ale, things are going much better.

nice looking razor. I shaved with the on in the last picture I posted this morning it still needs some more time on the stone to be sharp.
at the moment I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of this, looks sorta rough but at 125 years old I probably will also

That looks like it was a really nice pocket watch back in its day. Do you plan on restoring it as much as possible?
