    Default Today was a good day

    Hi fella's.. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.. I went to our biggest Antique Mall today to look at over priced items but maybe to find something that i dont need to my cabinet. Ive been here many times and came out with some very minor things.. i e. mugs, barber hone, brush handle, etc.. Never a razor.. Today was no different until i was going through a gentlesmans collection of about 15 old SR"s that were your general beat up and way over priced.. Until i got to this! She was not this clean in the box but was only dirty, no chips, dents, closed tight and by the looks never been on a stone... It is a Geneva 7N and best of all a full 6/8.. He had $75.00 to start and after some friendly back and forth ended at $60.00 with a nice Boker coffin.. After getting home and taking 10min to clean up i am sooo happy!!! Pretty sure it has factory edge which is quite sharp but will put on the 8000/12000 tonight and cant wait to use in the morning.. Thanks for reading and looking at my post.. Take care all!!

    That’s the kind of find that keeps us looking.

    Beautiful and the scales look to be in great shape.

    Congrats.

    A Geneva pyramid. I may have a case around here that matches. Not sure if I gave it away already or not. I’ll look tomorrow morning for you. If I have it and you want it, it’s yours.

    Nice find for sure. Always glad when they just need a little cleaning/polishing instead of a total overhaul! Cool scales.
    I've been meaning to get something like the other guys use to condition celluloid scales. Seems like it makes them pop even more.

    Thanks for replies guys.. Took it to the 8000 first and then went for a finish on the 1.5x 6 coti (?) that i received a few weeks ago... Been messing around with little thing quite a bit and have not got it dialed in yet.. I did just a minor slurry with a lot of water/ straight h20 after using the little slurry and did not get much beyond where the edge started at... Looks like this little rock is going to take a lot of trial and error before i get the hang of it.. Btw the razor's edge is ready for the front lines after a little time on my SS 12000. Thanks, SMW
