Found 2 old razors today...
I was out in the car today and passed an old antique shop in another town. I popped in and asked the old lady behind the counter if she had any cut throat razors, she replied that she didn't, but there were some old knives in a cabinet at the back of the shop. They must have been there years as the price tags had been crossed out and reduced about 5 times! I got the pair for £8. :)
I went to have a look anyway and noticed two razor boxes lurking at the back of the cabinet. She unlocked it for me and I had a look at them.
One is a Clements "High Speed" Sheffield round point, with black celluloid scales. It's in quite good condition and should clean up ok, I doubt it'll be worth anything but hopefully I can restore it and add it to my rotation.
The other is a Joseph Fenton & Sons "Extra Hollow Ground" Sheffield (very thinck blade), with real ivory scales. This razor is in worse condition, some rust patches that will likely leave pitting, and one of the scales has a crack in it. It's a shame the ivory is cracked, it's also very thin so I might replace the scales on this if the blade cleans up ok. Again probably not worth anything but I'll try and clean it up to add to the collection. :)
