Thread: the engilsh flea market acquisitions.

Thomas Turner and Co. hollow ground
George Butler keen shakespere razor
Wade & Butcher celebrated india fine steel

cant wait to get these fixed up.

I have the exact same W&B, takes a great edge and is a fantastic shaver!

Nice razors, too bad about the chips! And I'm not too confident about the spots on the Thomas Turner, they could be early stage of cell rot, or normal rust.

Anyway, good luck on the restoration and do post pics when you're done

if i can save even one of them, its a bargain at $20 for the 3 of them.

Yea that W&B alone which is definitely salvageable is a very good deal. Awesome find.

Rust on the Thomas Turner looks like normal rust to me. Aren't those scales ivory?

All 3 are scaled in natural materials. i.e. no cell rot...
