Thanks guys. I thought that they looked like the newer ones, but hadn't seen these varieties.
Thanks! I actually found them at an antique shop. I had one of those experiences that I only read about and think that it would never happen to me

Grrrrrr..... I'm never happy with others' good fortune. Nice hunting, though.

Nice score. We need to see the 9/8 W&B ! I was not aware that Dovo had begun making C-Mon. In the days of Carl Monkhouse they were imported by Peter J. Michaels and made in Solingen. Then shortly after the second world war .... or maybe shortly before Monkhouse got out of Dodge and relocated to Ellicottville NY. They were made there for a time too.

Here's the W&B. It may be a hair under 9/8 depending on the measurement. No real pitting, and minimal hone wear. It was found with some homemade 1 piece scales. Luckily I have some horn on the way

C-Mons are very good shavers.

The yellow one at the bottom of the photo takes the very nicest edge ever. Superior shaver....

I took a couple to the hones, and test shaved the Blackie. WOW! that took an incredible edge
I hadn't tried a new production razor, and I am definitely impressed.
Thanks for the help, guys.
