    Default new finds

    these 2 razors i found at a antique store near by my home. one is a "redpoint razor" made by anton wingen jr. the other, is a "my sweetheart" made by veriso. This razor has a strange point(to me anyways), i was wondering if this is a re grind or the way it came. thanks in advance for any info!

    Wow, I like that Sweetheart's grind! It looks like it'd keep the cutting edge away from the bases of your ears, which is where my spikes always bite me.

    The way the etching's left edge follows the line of the blade end makes this look like the original shape, rather than a regrind. That's just my opinion, since I haven't seen a blade like this before.

    Nice finds!

    thats what my thoughts were, but my limited razor knowledge made me wonder! if it is the original grind what would one call it?

    My razors don't have jimps. They have victory notches for every bit of carnage inflicted!

    Nice finds! Sorry I can't help you with your questions though as my razor knowledge is pretty limited right now.

    Yep, I think you're right. But I still like the shape a lot. Now, how does one go about regrinding?

    I'm fairly certain that a chip was removed from the tip of the blade.

    I like the look of that red point. It should clean up pretty nice!
