"I've known you for a long time but I've just begun to care" (Michael Nesmith "Propinquity").
Rotbart #15 / BIC Chromium (2). A near BBS single pass DE head shave pretty much qualifies any razor and blade combination for Cooperstown. I was not expecting that kind of shave from this razor, though it would not surprise if most of my other hall of fame shaves were with a BIC on second use (sharper than a Feather on first use).
My educated guess is that the razor dates from +/- 1948, based upon the decrepit tin box it was living in and the lack of DRGM markings. That rusty box I'm sure in part contributing to the destruction of the plating on all but the (brass) top cap. The Zamak bottom plate/guard means a replate is not possible but a Gunkote from North Shore or Delta Echo might be. Suggestions welcomed.![[Image: 702c2e732f245c1b081d01d49ddbb59f.jpg]](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180311/702c2e732f245c1b081d01d49ddbb59f.jpg)
