My Rotation

Got my razor pictures uploaded tonight. Added them to my user gallery, thought I would post them once so everyone can see.

8/8 Henckels Friodur from Shavingshop.com, will be getting Gabon Ebony scales with invisble pins before X-mas.

5/8 Dubl Duck Wonderedge. Great condition cept for this little chip outta the tip. Only cost $70 shipped from ebay. Ronded off the sharp edge and it shaves great now! So its not a round tip, more of a half french half barbers notch?;)

Other razors that I am not shaving with are the 5/8 Dovo and my 6/8 W and B wedge, trying to get the smile better.

Great deal on the Goldedge. As for the Wonderedge, you may want to turn it into a shortened spike-point. You can do it by taking it to a belt-sander, sanding the tip down with a piece of sand-paper on a flat surface, while wathing tv, or if you're adventurous, use a grinder. (*)


(*) I'm not 100% sure about the grinder bit, check with someone who knows this stuff better than me.

I thought about shortening it, but I think for now at least it works just fine. Would rather just have a little nip outta the blade than have to take more metal outta it. But who knows.

A couple of days ago I made a sweep of a couple of the local antique stores and picked up several razors most of which will be future restoration projects. I was hoping to find a Genco as the one I now have is one of my current favorites. I found one, a Henry X and I would have bought it but for one minor flaw. About a quarter of the blade was missing. A section from the toe to the midpoint and extending halfway to the spine was gone. :cry: Too bad as I've been on the lookout for Gencos as well as DublDucks (Yours both look really nice, I wax envious!).

Just gotta keep them eyes peeled, they are out there.
I just got a Wade and Butcher Frameback for super cheap and just shaved with it....holy cow it rocks....rigid as a wedge by hones like a super hollow:)
