Thanked: 1My weekend at the antique stores in Madrid
Hello friends. Yesterday I took a walk around the traditional Rastro market in Madrid. For those who don't know, it's a huge area (20 streets and 6 squares) in the city where you can find almost anything you can imagine. One of the streets is dedicated only to antique stores, so I went there asking for straight razors. After seeing a lot of rusty crap, I found these two razors at a reasonable price:
The first one is a Hugo Rader, Solingen. I think the box is not original, but it's really old. I'm not an expert, but I think it's really clean, though is quite dull and the pins are a bit loose.
The second one is a Medallón Taurino by Jose Monserrat Pou. As you can see in the pictures has a lot of stains and the edge is slightly damaged, but it stills cuts hairs! I managed to pass the HHT in some areas.
I would like to hear your opinion, because I'm still a newbie in Straight Razors. Is it possible to bring them back to life? Because I don't want wall-hangers, i would like to add them to my rotation. If you need more pictures or explanations please ask me. Thanks in advance amigos!
