In efforts to complete my collection of Micromatics, I picked up a really nice Flying Wing with case, metal blade container and vintage Micromatic blades. GROAN!!! What was that? I do believe I disturbed the mighty Cast Iron Marsupial. Oh well, I will risk posting pictures. I hope to give it a spin this weekend. Without further adieu, here they are:

Nice razor! I ought to get one also! It's yet more proof that great minds think alike! Cursor down I got this NOS yesterday in the mail. Other than the case color and the motif on the back of the blade holder they could be identical. I only need one of these, so my present user Flying Wing will go on the b/s/t here and on TSN. I don't think the marsupial will be giving us any more trouble...

Indeed great minds think alike, but I am so warped, I feel sorry for you. I wonder if that opossum was tenderized by Goodyear?

A couple of very nice FW's! I have the same set Brian has, don't use it much because of it's rather tame performance, but it looks cool on display.

Rich & Brian nice sets you both got there. I saw similar ones but they were a bit too pricey for me. I managed to get an older FW without the guiding eye (very good shape) in the original leather case. Those are some minty Flying Wings. I heard marsupial tastes like chicken.

Great looking sets guys. Never shaves with one of those. The possum is better with some BBQ sauce.

Low and slow. A roasting fit for a marsupial.
Nice razor kits there gents. I almost picked up a flying wing this week myself. Would have been a Gem of a threesome!

Nice ! I don't think there's a razor that beats the Flying Wing for cool
I'll never let go of the ones I have (the magic eye works !)

I agree about the cool factor Marc, but I tell myself I'm not a collector, yet I want one example to refer back to when required with a shave. I got the NOS for much less than I expected so I jumped on it. Something I just couldn't pass up. :-) It's not like I need more razors.
