Thread: Good Idea while Antique shopping for razors.

A lot of antique stores in my area sell on consignment. If the item isn't there's then if you don't buy it and the owner comes in and ask them what happened well you know how some folks are. the loupe and the light are a good idea though. Just my thoughts.

Most times I'm not looking for a name. I'm looking for hone wear, how straight it is along its length, and rust and pitting by the edge. If all those pass, and it's a fair price..... I make it mine. I've turned down razors before because I didn't know the name and wish I had those moments back.

C.V. Heljestrand, who the hell is that?????

THORandODIN, or can I call you the hammer slammer of alabammer?, , on the serious side now, I know you were only trying to help with your good suggestion, well, most of us here are nit pickers and some OCD, who isn't that likes to lap razors over and over on different mediums?
Some of the gent's come on a bit strong but most are helpful as can be found in this genre and will give the shirt off their back. So, good suggestion as long as the gents assume social and business norms are followed.

I have surreptitiously licked my thumb and accidently rubbed it on a tang once or twice.
