Please excuse the quality of these pics, I broke the display of my brand new camera :( The first two pics are "Silver King" by Wilbert cutlery Chicago. The last pic is a "Shur Edge". They were both very inexpensive.

Very nice looking razors, congrats on your find.Let us know how they shave please.
Very nice ! you're a lucky guy.
Those are seriously beautiful. Great catches.
I sure will. I am sending them both to Lynn for honing. I am a newie and will need to learn to shave, first. I've already ordered Lynn's DVD. I will update with my results.Quote:

Nice finds. The blade on that Silver King looks like it's in great condition. :)
Super finds! The Silver King looks great, but I will bet the Wilbert turns out to be the better shaver. I love them-never seen a bad one. Wilbert was a trademark of Sears Roebuck from 1908-1921.
Very nice!
Both should be fine shavers.

I have been studying the terminologies used in straight razors, and I think the Wilbert Silver King has either never been used or at least never honed, as there is no indication of hone wear.

Treat them well and they'll do the same for you.
Wishing you may years of smooth shaving...
