New Purchases...

Here's some pics of my latest Ebay acquisitions...

The first is a Gebr.Herring of Merscheid-Solingen 5/8th w/blue manganese scales.

The second is a Wade and Butcher 4/8th

And the last is a Hibbard Spencer Bartlett and Co. w/Pre ban Ivory Scales

Nice razors........did they come that nice on eBay........if so you did well. Glad to see that you did get the pics uploaded. With that explanation that I gave you I was wondering if I made it clear on what to do.

Thanks Bill, and yes your explanation was fine. I got the razors from Bob Keyes, that's why their in such good shape.
A very fair price too, I'm looking forward to test driving them...Rich

Ah! yes I know Bob (altima55) we have talked on the phone. I was wondering if those weren't his because of the way they looked. He has been selling razors on eBay for some time. I have also bought from him. He is one of the better sellers on eBay if not the best. Good choice.

I didn't know his name,but I knew those razors were the ones sold by altima55 just by the look.

Sorry Dude,

I knew it had to be one of you guys. There's someone else on this forum that said he got Dbl Duck on Ebay, Why didn't I see that, I've been looking for a duck....

I bought an eBay razor from Bob. Great razor with a wicked edge. Great service too.

He picks them up at antique shops, garage sales, estate sales, flea markets just about anywhere and then cleans them up very well. He polishes the blades, hones them and shaves with them. They are nice aren't they.

Merry Christmas,
Bill

My understanding is, unless otherwise stated he does a full de-pin and re-pin restoration on his razors. I know the descriptions I've read over time on his razors say nothing about re-pinning the razors.:shrug: He sure does seem like he does a good job.
