Thread: Zak's Big Sale

The time has come for me to start making razors. There are still a few obstacles and problems I need to sort out to get there, and I can either sort those out with time and effort or I can spend money to fix them.

I'm lazy.

So, I'm listing these 8 razors at bargain prices. My preference is to move these as quickly as possible, so I haven't made sure any of them are shave ready.

If you need it shave ready, I will happily hone it for an extra $10.

Each razor will be a separate reply in this thread with a number, just PM me with the one you're interested in.

Razor #1

Joseph Rodgers & Sons, 1870's. Not quite 6/8. Faint 'Fine India Steel' blade stamp. With original (tatty) box. Original scales, sealed & stabilized.

Very wedgy and solid, with an elegantly jimped and decorated little tang.

Razor #2

Henckels #80, 20th century full hollow Solingen razor. A bit over 5/8. All original with box.

$50

(Please note, my light table ruler is in centimeters)

Razor #3

20th Century half-hollow A.W. Wadsworth 'BOSS' razor. With a misspelled 'TRADFMARK' stamp. These aren't stamps, so that doesn't make it more valuable. It also doesn't make it not shave. Decorative aluminum scales.

$40 (think of it as $35 plus $5 for postage).

(Please note, my light table ruler is in centimeters)

Razor #4

20th Century Bismarck razor, slightly bellied full hollow. 6/8 with a lot of point-forward spine wear and a very faded blade etch. Would make a great travel razor, since it's not so pretty you'd miss if terribly if it got lost but still provides a great shave.

$50

(Please note, my light table ruler is in centimeters)

Razor #5

Needham Brothers REPEAT, Sheffield. Late 1800's. Full hollow, bit over 6/8. Ivory scales with hairline but stable cracks. Originally part of a 7-day set (marked Thursday on the top of the spine. Very crisp & clean blade etch 'The True Sheffield Ring'. Pile side has some pitting.

$80

SOLD!

Razor #6

1880's Sheffield, Joseph Rodgers. Half-hollow 6/8 edging into 7/8. Near-perfect ivory scales (there's a tiny chip near the point on the facing scale). Very clean. Top jimps.

$--sold--

Razor #7

One of these.

W&B 'Celebrated Hollow Ground For Barber's Use'. Not quite full 8/8. Heavy, from a thick spine. Small chip or forging defect at the heel of the blade. Original scales.

I had intended to fix this up and grind a smooth lead-in to the cutting edge, plus refresh all the etchings. Instead I'm selling it. Since it's missing one washer on the pile side, I'll include a pair of Austin's replica washers, or if you opt to have it honed for $10, I can replace both washers.

$150

SOLD!
