Need info about a blade purchased for restoration
I just purchased this lot of 3 blades on Ebay. My main interest is in "The Master Razor",shown up top. I personally think it is quite sexy and would dress up really well sporting a set of custom Cocobolo scales. What can you folks tell me about this blade? Is it a good quality makers mark, good for shaving... or will this simply become a nice looking display piece?

I don't know anything about the top or bottom one but the duck in the middle are very well liked around here.
*Insert deep thought/profound statement here*

The Dubl Duck has issues. A lot of hone wear on the spine and a frown on the cutting edge. I could turn it into a 9/16, or a 4/8 and smooth out the spine wear, cosmetically, but it ... it has issues. Not sure if I'll even mess with that one.

Do you have a shot of the makers mark? BTW, looks like the top and probably bottom should clean up and shave fine.

I like the third one too. The makers marks are as follows;

That top one was most likely Sheffield-made for a Scottish merchant. Milliard? Nice blade.
Totally worthy of correct dark horn scales and brass appointments. JMO"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

I can't remember what the third line spells ( Elinburgn** ) but I bet it is a town around Sheffield. Reminds me of a Liverpool razor. I was thinking honey horn for it. The Duck needs ICU but the Simmons shows a lot of promise. Congrats :<0)
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

"Whew, glad you didn't start a bidding war against me... Thanks!"
Fear not. All is not lost. You'll have yet another chance to consider bidding on it, after restoration, when it once again lands on ebay.Last edited by TMJudd; 07-19-2014 at 01:11 AM.
