Interesting RR Razor. (I just did some research on it). The oldest somewhat similar razor to this that I have is a early 30's Gem Micromatic. It takes SE (single age blades)

Past New (8yrs) Car Dealer for : BMW, Lexus, Nissan and Toyota<br />Past Used Vehicle Dealer: All Makes and Models. Seen a lot of it. Drove a lot of it. <br />Four-stroke Otto Engine 1876. Modern timer, pop-up toaster 1919 keep convincing yourself that you have the "latest appliance".

Just picked 2 of these scratch free snow brushes in Cdn Tire. It's a somewhat stiff foam instead of a brush, so it won't freeze like a wet traditional snow brush will. The head folds and the handle extends to 52". Anything is better than dragging a frozen brush across across a car...worth a shot!

What kind of sharpening tool is that?

I tried  to watch a actual video on a total hip replacement got as far as they start to spread the cut open then turned it off 😱
Maybe I should start with an animated video first
This may not be a DIY job

Did I miss the thread on why you got rid of the Stohr? 

Geez wing, since the S2000 you've been buying a race car every year  ;D
