Yes, the first 3 have gold wash... it's not a reflection and yes, the second one has a MOP tang intact on both sides.

Enjoy!

Please show us close-ups of each razor. I have the 10 Year Guarantee one on the far left and the Crown and Sword on the far riight, but haven't seen the middle ones. The middle one has a most interesting set of scales and blade goldwash.

The ator doesn't que r look like an ator.

So I checked my mail right after I posted the link. It looked like this

Now it is looking like this

I found 5 ERN's today in an antique shop white scales with gold ERN letters on the scale. the were fairly pitted with corrosion are they work picking up. price was $20 each.

Just about any ERN is worth $20. I have several Crown & Sword razors and there isn 't a bad one in the bunch. If you get tired of them give me a blast. I will adopt them. No problem..............

Well I went back to the store and grabbed the ERN razors. I did not notice it right away but they are part of a 7 day set. The days of the week are stamped on the back of the spines (Sunday to Thursday. Friday and Saturday were missing) They have gold etching on the blade saying Soligen and I think they are a 1720 Crown & Sword? I also grabbed a Wade & Butcher and a Joseph Wostenholn & Sons wedge style razors. Don't know much about them but they looked different.

Now I guess I need to learn how to clean them up.

Now that's a real find 5 of a 7 day set of ERN's. I've never seen an ERN 7 day set. Polish and wet/dry high grit sandpaper, avoiding the goldwash will help clean it up. You can use a wine cork and cut a small piece of sandpaper to lightly sand, if needed. There are many metal polishes out there.

Please post photos of the razors you found.

My new find. ERN Solingen Razor. All i need to do now is invent a way of cleaning up the blade without losing the gold......

Clean up the old shave cream off it and leave the patina, it's a great looking razor as it is. Any razor can do shiny, it takes many years to develop a nice patina. Hone it up and enjoy the shave!

im new to razors but i think this is a ern ?
