Single edge razor of the day.

Which came first on the VC1, the fluted handle or the round one?

I'd say the fluted handles ... to distinguish from the VBs which had the slightly wider round handles. Sears & Roebuck sold the Model C (VC1) in those metal coffin boxes from 1922 and pictured in Waits they have the fluted handles. That was the first date for that razor.

Thanks for the info Paul. Mine came with one of those metal coffin boxes....A

Thank you sir!

Model C Special ... seemed to be "Special" from release. Thereafter we seemed to get the straight knurled and the knurled with nicked end in nickel.

I like the VC1. Those coffin sets are lovely.

The Claymore Evolution for me is a good Razor, and even better with this titanium handle. What a nice Shave today, thanks in part to me getting a super Vitos lather.
