Nearly a whole month had gone by with no sign of RAD...

I've been saving up all my fun money for a larger purchase next month.

I eschewed anything but the most tempting of eBay fruit (I'm looking at you, Jonathan Crookes!).

I started working on a batch of 5 razors to sell. I traded away two others!

And then something happened.

These four razors (none of which are in my possession yet):

Attachment 95555
Hiram Gilbert, New York
(I suspect made by Wade & Butcher -- strike that, make it Joseph Elliot)


Attachment 95556
Joseph Elliot, NEW YORK pressed scales -- a brother to my Philadelphia razor


Attachment 95557
Attachment 95560
Scargill. Oh how I've wanted one of these...


Attachment 95558
Attachment 95559
R. Wade, Warranted.

So much for saving money.

Really nice!! Those two really old ones look great!

Don't you hate it (and love it) when that happens? ;-) some great pieces there!

So you're the one who outbid me on that Scargill! I was also eyeing the Wade. Hope they're as good as they look!

Aye! I hope you got some cool stuff too. :)

It's gonna be interesting to have that stuff in-hand... Most of it looks to be in good shape (considering), though the Elliot is going to require the abrasive love of serious cleaning.

Very timely! I had just started to seriously dig into the history of the company. I don't know why it took me so long, the Joseph Elliot blades I have are among my favorites.

Oh yes! I don't know how useful (or accurate) this is, but over here there is mention that Joseph Elliot also absorbed the marks for J and I Barber, Cadman and a handful of others.

There isn't a stated source for that information though.

Great new razors. Gongrats

Hey just realised that Hiram Gilbert looks JUST like my old Elliot!
