Thread: FS: LOT B - 5 Straight Razor Blades for Restoration

Due to a tighter budget and even tighter time restraints I am purging a lot of items I never got around to doing anything with.

This is #2 of 4 lots of straight razor blades. These are being sold as is, and are NOT shave ready...

Would be great practice for the new restorer looking to practice cleaning up blades, making scales, or even using a new buffer.

Price is $50 for the lot of 5. Will not break up lot. $6.50 shipping in CONUS. Includes insurance and tracking. Will ship out of CONUS, please contact for prices.


Lot B

1. 5/8" square tip with barbers notch. Wilbert Cutlery CO, Chicago, ILL, Etching of "OUR MAGNETIC" on blade
- has some black spots that will probably be some decent pitting, especially on back side tang area. light corrosion on edge that should clean up fine. funky hone wear, looks like someone went at it with a course stone

2. 5/8" square point, A.F. Shapleigh Hardware Co, Made in Germany. "EMPIRE" etch on blade
- lot of surface patina as well as rust on blade. will probably be pitting on edge of blade. Good practice to clean or buff, not sure if it will shave again

3. 5/8" round tip, HEINR BOKER & Co, Solingen, 1111, "BOKERS GOLD" etch on blade
- few spots of rust on show side, larger no on back side that will leave a few pits. Clean bevel, light hone wear on the toe side

4. 4/8"+ square tip, RASTUS No. 51, H. Boker and Co Germany
- some black rust on this that will probably leave pits. color on edge appears to be surface rust and may clean up fine. Copper thrust washers from the original trashed scales.

5. 4/8"+ round tip, W.H. Morely and Sons, Germany
- fairly clean blade, some surface rust near spine and tang stamp. light and even hone wear, clean bevel.
