Thread: The Butcher Shop

I've been gone a long time, but now I'm back and plan on staying. It's nice to see that the old razor clubs are still open for business and thriving! I look forward to browsing through all of the fine razors on display!!

It looks like some of my old picture links have been broken, I will try to fix those as soon as I can....

I saw that! Get those links fixed ASAP.

I am looking to acquire a W&B either 6/8 or 7/8 wedge. There are so many kinds and I am not sure what is better? Barbers notch, full wedge, ect. The prices seem to range quit a bit also. I would like to get a real nice restored one. Any ideas or suggestions?

Keep an eye on the Classifieds, maybe even post in the "Want To Buy" section, I'm sure something will come up. As far as the grind is concerned, it just depends on what you prefer. I don't really care for wedges myself....and I prefer spike points. Everyone's different. Take your time and let the razor choose you!

Posts like this are against SRP rules. I'm leaving this here for you and other new members who may not be aware of that. If you want a specific brand or type of razor you can post a WTB (want to buy) in the SRP classifieds.

Not the greatest photo, but here is my W&B Bow Razor. Did something idiotic and cracked the original scales, so I installed this faux tortoise handle which I really like. I would call it a great shaver but then again I have nothing to compare it to.

Great scales Z!

Well I guess those posts are too old to edit...lol...unless anyone knows of a way to do that with old posts....

The Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor For Barbers Use is at the top of my wish list. I would like one that is as close to new condition as possible with clear stamps, no pitting, staining, rust or tarnish, preferably. Are ones in that condition out there? Are the razors them self considered rare?

The ones I've seen on the Bay have minor cosmetic flaws and still go for a lot which makes me think they are either very rare or highly sought for or both.

I wenr through the thread yesterday and deleted quite a bit. I deleted dead photbucket links and posts saying "nice razor" for the dead links. I didn't do it on the first few pages but got so sick of scrolling through what has become noise that I began to delete them. Then at the end I got to your post saying you are going to restore them. I am going to go back to the beginning and delete any other dead posts. It would be great if you could go in your photo files and post photos of your collection again. This time directly through "manage attachments" so they don't get lost again.
