I have been on the lookout for a Vonnegut razor for some time, just because of some perceived historical significance to me as a long time Indianapolis resident. Clemens Vonnegut, Sr., a German...

Picked this up from the ebay machine for about the cost of lunch on a work day. It is French and I know nothing about its age or maker but it is a frame back and I think my meager collection should...

Mailman brought this today from SRD.

Unfortunately, I have managed to catch the upper respiratory infection that seems to be sweeping the midwest USA and I can't smell a damned thing.

Just snagged this Rolls Razor off the 'bay. I have been on the lookout for one at a decent price for a little while. This one looks pretty good and comes with a spare blade. The concept intrigues me...

Truthfully, the only Red-Injun I ever payed attention to was the one I bought. I saw a copy of an old catalog (1909?) somewhere that lists them as No. 100 - 4/8 square point; No. 101 - 5/8 square...

Good news: I had some time to play today so I lightly sanded the faded scale with 600 W/D paper and then with 5 micron trizact. That removed the brown top layer exposing the original black color....

Got this ebay catch in today's mail. It is a J.R. Torrey Co. "156 - The Barber" model. It is a little hard to date but probably pre 1920 from what I can gather. I paid a little more than I wanted to...

T. Noonan & Co., Boston - made in Germany

Got it in the mail yesterday. The edge looked pretty good so I stropped it with Crox, clean fabric, and then leather and I polished the scales and the...

Snagged this guy off Ebay and it is "in the mail." I have no real idea if it is any good or not since it is an Ebay crapshoot buy, but it was cheap enough that I won't cry about it. At the very least...
