Note: There are still shave-ready new razors available in PIF No. 11.

Another donation from @Phil Harmonica to the cause. This much sort after shave-ready straight razor has been hand crafted in a far-off and exotic land. After honing it was finished on the naked thighs of a young virgin girl and comes in an exquisite timber case finely crafted by the overly protective mother of that young virgin girl. This is definitely a razor that many would desire to add to their collection.
