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.Quote:

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