Thanked: 0Razor Collection Pics and Feedback
Hey everyone--
100% new here, but have followed the forums for about a year and a half silently as I started collecting straights, as well as other shaving gear such as strops and brushes. I am actually shaving with a DE safety razor while a cup, brush, and soap, but am collecting straights solely because I find them interesting and simply want to preserve the pieces I have, not necessarily restore to "brand new" condition and shave with them.
More or less, I am just trying to collect a variety of interesting older pieces. I cleaned several of these up with #0000 steel wool with oil and some Maas Polish. Here are some pics of my current collect!ion -- I would like to get some feedback on the pieces from the experts here.
The pieces here include (in order):
1. FW Engels Solingen - 2 pics
2. Hessen Bruch - 2 pics
3. Set with Red Clouds Collective tool roll (I saw one of these on the forum at some point and really liked it to organize a small group of razors).
4. Wade & Butcher 8/8+. The photo showing the measurement is a bit misleading due to the tape measure not being 100% flush with the surface of the razor. It is at least a full 8/8 if not over. It does, however, have a crack by one of the pins (pictured). - 4 pics
5. Wade & Butcher Celebrated Hollow Ground. This one has a corner cracked off on the reverse sign pin holding the blade. I did not snap a pic of this before putting the razors away. - 2 pics
6. Wade & Butcher Sheffield - 2 pics.
7. Wade & Butcher w/wooden handle. Pretty sure this is not the original handle, but a cool razor nonetheless. - 2 pics
Any feedback is much appreciated.
