Colorado new guy saying hi
Hello all,
New to the straight world and have been buying up the e bay finding different sizes and shapes to try.
Kept coming back here to see what the community thought of various blades and finally joined.
I have the tooling to fix ugly blades and don't care what the neighbors think about some pitting or stains after cleaning,
as long as they shave. Besides, putting on new scales isn't hard and can breathe new life into an otherwise lost soul.
So much history in these.
THANK YOU to all that have contributed info on these timeless classics.
I have many questions ahead on shapes and makers that I haven't been able to find info on and will add pictures when I get a camera that takes good closeups.
A couple that come to mind...
Shapleigh Hardware co. St Lois "Diamond Edge" in the groove and "DE" on the blade with #17 on the tang.. very unusual blade shape...kind of like a frameback but not..
George H Meyer. Kansas City "Semi-Wedge" ... Bellied hollow?
Thanks again for the GREAT SITE and info.
