Found an interesting Antique razor case at the antique mall yesterday. It had 9 razors in it all were junk but couple, there was a somewhat decent W&B with the engraving on the blade that reads, "you lather well, il shave well". I will probably restore this one, a couple others are decent enough I think I will let my boys restore them as it will be no loss if they mess up.
I paid 60$ for it which was pushing it in my opinion of the value, but I am excited about using it as a template for making one like it out of exotic wood.
I might even restore it, does anyone know anything about the " paper leather " that was used on it? Is their a modern source for something that looks similar?
