    Default Antique Store Finds


    Left to right Blue Steel 5/8, Henckels 9/16 #28 and a late forty's Gillette Super Speed.

    Both Straights still popped arm hairs with the Henckels just needing a touch up!! $35 for all

    The Blue Steel after polishing looks almost new with very little hone wear

    Nice deal. I do like the look of that Blue Steel (and indeed, the other two). How does it shave?

    I haven't tried the Blue Steel yet, but the Henckels is pretty good.

    Great antique shop finds! I just love hearing about these finds. Doesn't it feel GREAT!

    The blue steel is a looker and the henckels speaks for itself. And a super speed to boot!

    Very nice! I bought a small lot on ebay that included a Blue Steel blade with no scales. I'd be interested in hearing how it shaves, once you get around to it.

    I got it honed up and it shaves great!
