243664 "Adam R. Maxwell" <amaxwell@m...> 2013‑11‑26 MF cigar shave and replacement blades
GGs,

Some of you may be interested to know that Tim Kelly is once again
making his version of the Millers Falls cigar shave, as well as
replacement blades. I needed a new blade, and couldn't resist a new
shave, since the cigar shave is one of my favorite tools. Handles on
this one are zebra wood:

This replacement blade is actually too long for my old MF shave, but
Tim's sending me one that should fit properly. He says there's some
variability in the MF shaves, so if you buy one, I'd suggest sending him
a note with the length of your old blade.

The shave was $45 and replacement blade was $16, both BIN on ebay.
He said it was okay if I mentioned him on the oldtools list, but
production is slow due to his day job. Ebay id is bennetville.

There are notes on his shaves in the archives. The fit and finish is
excellent, though the design is slightly different from the M-F. Kelly
relies on a back bevel, rather than the shallow mouth of the M-F.
