    Default Three razors

    I stoped in an antique store this morning and found these. Really good bargin too. The green one is a C Mon and says Carl Monkhouse New York on the tang
    The blond safety razor is a Curleys Ideal Pat 1884 New York
    The one with black or green scales, can't tell which is a Diamond and the blade is etched Hollow Ground, Fully Warrented price $3.00 with a diamond around the price.
    All are in really good shape with hardly any rust and none on the edges.
    They had about 30 razors but a lot were beyond help with too much rust and the edges rusted away. They have one other I want later that is a no name and is like new. It is near shave ready.
    I'm a happy guy.

    Sweet Cmon. The black scaled one looks great too. You did real well.

    I couldn't get a good pic of the blade etching on the one with the black scales. It is really quite clear, just not deep. More like photo etching.

    I want to report that I have cleaned up the three razors and sharpened the C-Mon.
    It is the best razor I have ever used. I took and edge like you would not believe after much honing and stroping and shaves like a dream. I went three days without shaving and it was almost like I had no whiskers when I shaved. It is now my favorite.
