What’s new to you?

I like to use scrubbing bubbles to clean razors, the steel really shines when I use it.
The guard does “bend” back a little bit your is a touch too far. Pardon the rust on the attached photos, I just got back from a cruise and the salt air did a number on the new blade.

And this last one I inserted the blade edge first so the spine is against the guard to show the position

Thanks. I’ll give it a try tomorrow, then maybe see if a little adjustment will improve it. It’s nice enough otherwise, I don’t think I should return it.
 
My brothers Weck came in with some etching on a non photoed side that says "Clinic". I asked them about anything on that side and they said there wasn't anything. It'll probably polish off or I'll leave it. Just needs cleaning and a guard. Also got the NOS B-3 Psycho razor.

@CBLindsay cruise?! Do share!

Earlier this year my wife booked a short 3 day cruise from Long Beach to Ensenada. She wanted to get my daughters on a short cruise to see if they would be able to handle a potentially longer one. The motion sickness pills helped them both (one gets sick on car rides over 45min...and blames my driving). I wasn’t terribly excited to stack 4 of us into the little room but we managed. Bonus was that the Baja 500 was running through Ensenada on Saturday when we were there...

Wow, that would be cool to check out.

I can make myself car sick when I'm driving if the roads are very windy. I get the patches from my doc, but don't even need those unless the seas are rough or we're doing excursions on smaller boats.

One of my Weck OCs has "Hospital" or a hospital name hand etched into the handle. I think that adds to the uniqueness and awesomeness of it.

Did you see if your Bantam guard fits it?
 
Next up from @ShawnF an extra guard for my brother's Weck. Failed to get a pic of it but you all know what they look like. Fits perfectly. To top it off in true Cadre fashion he is shoving me down the rabbit whole of straights with his generous gift of a Gold Dollar Custom he did. Freshly honed and stropped to kill me excuses. I will be buying a quality strop now as i Don't trust my 3 star that has sat for years and has dry cracks forming. Thanks Shawn
