Here is a another pictures of the first one that i missed on the first post.



About the prices, the second one is US$20 and the other one is like $35. Too bad to hear both would need a professional hone instead of just the strop .
Ill keep you posted guys

I am VERY new to this and am by no means an expert. I have been researching my first straight and have found that the vast majority, if not all, vintage razors that you buy from auction sites need to be honed by someone that really knows what they are doing. You can find some nice vintage blades from some specialty sites that come shave ready, but they usually fetch a pretty price.

Good luck in your hunt!
