    I love the uniform toe wear! These must have come out of a barber shop. These were tools, not collectables.

    This would have been such an amazing collection if it weren't for the hone ware.

    yea, most have very heavy hone wear. This guys hands must have been like stone.

    Some aren't that bad, I think when he broke the scales of one he just put it in a drawer or something

    I will say, some of them have heavy hone wear but it is attractive, intentional wear put there by a barber or other user to mute the point and give it a smiling edge. Some of the subtle curves barbers wore in to their razors were, IMO, absolutely artful.

    Yup, that's what I meant!
