Thanked: 1razor identification and tips
Okay, Newbie here with my first Brand new Dovo razor (thanks for the christmas present, honey) What a great wife. Anyway, to learn how to hone I went antiquing today and picked up seven razors for $10 each. I took pics and looked up some of them on the threads here. I was hoping for any insight. My goal is to find 2-3 for practice, honeing, cleaning, restoring etc and then possibly ebay the rest. I will post a few pics, i can post more if needed.
The first pic should show 6 of the razors....
top left: Dubl Duck special #1
top right: genco master barber (looks like it says gen VA USA)
middle left: says Radium on the blade with H Boker & Co on the handle
middle right: smaller blade.. Herm konejung solingen 42
bottom left: Holley on the blade. very nice scales. marble look to them
bottom right: Diamond razor Co. blade says "the diamond: price $3.00)
The missing one from the pic is a Krusius Brothers Germany. the other side says 26 KB (something)
I looked on the forums and got a little info about most of them, and I had read a little about Dubl duck, so when I saw it for $10 i just bought it. It appears to be in ok condition. I am attaching a few closeups of some of the blades.
So anyway, these are just for practice. I wouldnt mind restoring them, or selling them to someone that wants to restore. At the moment I am mainly looking to sterilize and hone a few for practice. So any thoughts would be helpful. For example, if the dubl duck is better off in the hands of a restorer than mine for practice then great. I was thinking the radium, the Holley and the Diamond razor might be ok for practice.
