Thread: Auction Tonight Went Well - Razors and Hones

I got this tonight at the local auction house. It was the only thing I wanted and of course it was on the last damn table. For the price I have no complaints at all, not even the three hour wait to get it.

The hones are Boss Barber & Pike Belgian Hone - both are very excellent condition.

The Griffon Razor 5/8 in celluloid is a beaut., there is no noticalbe hone wear.
The Geneva is 7/8 in Horn- big boy.
The W&B 5/8 is nice, but the faux ivory scales are warping a little.
The Marsh 7/16 toe - 5/8 heel, has some scales rot going one, but otherwise look nice.
The Torrey is 5/8 in blonde horn. Some rot going on, but should be able to fill with crazy glue.

Wow nice haul. I've been waiting to go to some auctions/estate sales to find some razors.

Very nice, I don't think I've ever seen a 7/8 Geneva. Cool coticule too. Looks like the ink stamp is faintly visible so it probably hasn't been used.

Thats is a nice Haul, that coti looks new, and all razors have no rust!!! the auction i go to most razors they have you can barely open them there so rusted.Enjoy!!

Those griffins are under estimated shavers... I got one from my uncle and it shaves great! For some reason they don't sell for much though, I see them all the time for low prices?

Thanks for the comments. I was in it more for the hones than the razors. I didnt own any before last night, now I can start learning to hone.

Last year I started collecting razors, now I am ready for the season to bring me many more. The lady of the house said that I need to get a proper case or display soon - or else she said I have to get rid of a bunch. So I am now on the hunt for a small display counter.
