Flee market find
Took my usual Sunday morning walk through the local flee market like I have done for the past few years. I found some things that I more than likely walked buy 100 times.

Nice finds.
The frameback is something I’ve not seen before. The lower jimps almost look like a trigger that releases the blade.outback likes this.David

Lucky you to have a flea market nearby selling razors. I think the space behind the blade of the third one down in the first picture is for a blade guard.

I was commenting on the 3rd razor down in the original photo and what looks like a trigger release for the blade.

Its a Curley, Ideal Safety Razor. Without the guard.

Open the release, and rotate the guard, lock into place.
Shave on.!
I like my Landers Frarey, better.
Nice finds, John.
The one with the black rust on both sides of the blade near the edge, may be a concern. Its possible, there's no good steel below it. At least for holding a edge.
Who knows, we've been surprised before.Last edited by outback; 05-09-2021 at 05:18 PM.

I guessing you mean the bottom one. (Or Hoping) I really want to restore the second one (The MAB) I really like the length. I am thinking it will work well for my beards cheek lines. Originally Posted by outback

The rest are probably fine, from what I see

Yeah I was thinking that too Mike. Hopefully that will sand and hone out. I like that shoulderless grind on The MAB. Also that French point is nice. I guess you'd call that a French point instead of a spike. It looks kind of in between. Either way that looks like that should be a real nice shaver. Good find John!
