Thread: Antique stores

For barbers use is a fairly common term on Japanese razors, pretty sure they used silver steel. If it was from Germany, it would say so. I would get that to OZ asap. And clean your car...

Lol. I blame the baby.

Yea that was my thoughts when I bought it. If so it should shave well.

Any idea of the other one.

The ES-EX is by CF Ern. They are good razors with hard steel. Don't know if Ern made a bad razor but a looks like a little toe wear on that one.

Don't know the one you bought but looks good.

Been looking all over the web but nothing. The ern was quarter hollow but a bit of wear so skipped.

Both worth getting if the price is right

What would you price them at? Just curious, I probably overpaid.
Also anyone has an idea about the scales?

I am not sure it's a fox.

Was at an antique fair a few weeks ago and was noticing nothing much of interest then I started t open up some drawers in some old furniture thing, lots of doorknobs, keys etc, but on the 2nd to last I found a drawer full of straights picked up at TI Spartacus. Sometimes you really have to dig.

They are worth fair market price. No one will tell you much different as it is against forum policy
