Any info on a couple of Ebay buys ?
I picked up a couple of Razors from Ebay on Friday ... my first impressions are pretty pleasing actually they're cleaning up a treat , well considering I have fancy Dremmel or any gadgets only wet n dry ...
Anyhooz I've searched the cool razor ref book Richz pointed me to with no luck so I was wondering if any of you guys have any knowledge on them .
the first is here > 'The Famous Es-ExRazor,Made in Germany http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=6616679604
the other little guy is a C Wright & Co . new bond street althought the description appears differnt
with a nice set of ivory scales

Both appear to be 6/8 full hollow and both look very promising to be good shavers

You did very well!
On the first one make sure you hone off all the rusted edge using a 4000 (medium) grit hone. Otherwise the edge will deveop microchips very easily.

Cool thanks for that tip Randy ... I've managed to get the rust off with some 800 wet n dry .. still left it's mark on the metal tho , I gotta admit although they were a cheap purchase theres just something about them they look really nice ..
RichZ I'll be sure to let you guys know how they shave ..
