    Default Good deal but a lot of work

    I pick these up in an antique shop in NJ a couple weeks ago, 3 have broken blades,2 are of poor quality and about a bunch of broken scales and a lot RUST. They were talking up space in her display case so I made her offer for the whole lot (good and bad) at cost of $120.00. I guess straight razor restoration is going to be my new hobby LOL.
    There's a couple of Wade & Butcher, Gencos and a Germaina to name a few.
    Has anyone every come a cross an OG thats in the pic???
    Ill try to post better pics as I clean them up

    Thank You, now I don't feel like the only nut in the basket. After getting about 3 of those done you will want to use one on your neck :<0)
    Hard to pass up a deal like that I know.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Yes Sir this will keep me busy for a while, I need to figure what I want keep and what I want to get rid of ( I want to keep them all) to recoup some of the cost for stuff I need to restore them.

    The OG razor could be Osbourne Garrett - they made quite a few brands including Kropp
    My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.
