My 2 Razors

**rgc58** · 02-05-2011, 11:56 PM

Here are my two razors that I have so far. I thought someone could tell me if they think they are decent. I like shaving with the Barblers Pet but have a little trouble with the Mauser mabey because its wider with a hollow grind and I still need to work on my techniqe with that type of a razor. I havent seen or heard to much about the Mauser brand on this site so I dont know if its any good or not. Its the one I got off ebay and took apart and cleaned up so it was my first go at pinning and cleaning. Thanks for any comments even if there bad on my cleanup job.

Looks like you cleaned them up quite nicely actually

And they both should serve you well as fine shavers.

The Barber's Pet is by C.F. Ern. Can't go wrong with an Ern.
The Mauser, I believe is by Henckels & Hammesfahr.
You have 2 good 'uns

Sweet razors. I really like the First one. I like bigger blades.

I wouldn't have known the Simmons was by Ern if Onimaru hadn't said so. 'Shaved with another simmons this morn to try another stone's edge, and it was very satisfying. Being converted from not thinking highly of Henckels, I have to say, they take edges for me better than most blades I've done. 'Very impressive shavers. I hope they both serve you well and keep putting smiles on yoru face.

Thanks for looks and comments Im happy to hear that I have 2 keepers. Just got home from a friends house after watching the fight and he had 6 SR that he showed me. He dosent use them just has em. Had a Boker that had Army Navy Victory on the blade and the others were nice as well but I came home empty handed. Oh well there his I got to keep looking for my own.

Hey, RGC.

I would think tri-cities would have at least a few antique stores. If not, any trips to Spokane or the West side would reward the effort. Some will be junk, others are nuggets - sorta like ebay. If they have antique shows - they've been a good source also. The large metro areas seem more picked over, and prices aren't as good. The more rural, small-town antique stores and shows have been best for me.
