'Everkeen' razor/stropping handle.

I'm not sure if this belongs here but feel free to move it mods if needs be.
I thought I'd share this flea market find from yesterday, it was hiding in a cabinet looking forlorn and dejected.
A quick wipe down and Polish revealed this very usable item? It's obviously been used as you can serve slight plating loss where it's rubbing on the strop.

I thought it was because of the plating wear....I'll give it a try on some old carbon blades I have....nice item to have given its £3 purchase price.

If you're unhinged, mentally that is ... you could use it as a straight! In a word, don't ... but yes, it's for stropping old DE blades. No need with today's blades, but it's a really nice piece of history. The handles are nice enough to pop onto your favourite DEs.
