My RAD is back, so many razors.. so little money the wife doesn't know about..
So I had a dream about razors and woke up with the urge... you know the one...
There is an antique shop only three blocks from the house :shrug:
So here is what I have narrowed it down to, please help me pick one ?
I tried to send a pic from my cell to my email but no such luck. Bet I still get charged.
Slightly dirty.
Duble Duck Dwarf, 6/8 I think, dark yellow celluloid scales, very little hone wear.
Probably asking around $50
Excellent
Frederick Reynolds 8/8 quarter hollow spike, scales not original but are the largest French Ivory silver bolstered scales I've ever seen, back of blade is worked but ONLY ON ONE SIDE?
Asking $28
Very good
Challenge 5/8 barbers notch wedge with moderate hone wear, sort of marbled green celluloid scales with only one pin at hinge none on other end , has some writing on blade but can't remember what
Asking $100
Very good
Adoration 5/8 or smaller, blade is dark, dark yellow scales with fancy ADORATION in metal work similar to certain Duble Ducs, a cute little razor
Asking $28
So far, despite the replacement scales I like the
Frederick Reynolds the best. It's a very large blade and the scales are classy looking but I wonder why it is only worked on one side?
Can someone fix this?
It would look damn sexy in some stag scales, oh and the spike is VERY SPIKY !
I've seen some nice Robert Williams stag scales, anyone know what he charges for scales and pinning a blade in them?
The shop owner tells me that the DD Dwarf is quite rare. Is this true?
I have been wanting a DD for some time (ever since I watched Lynn's shaving video ;))
An old barber I know seemed to get a little mad when I mentioned the Adoration and mumbled something about putting a bastard child in my will, guess he doesn't like them. Thoughts as to why?
I wouldn't mind adding the Challenge IF it were actually rare or valuable but $100 is starting to get into money that the wife DOES know about.
Help me? I'm going back tomorrow.:shrug:
