Found a box of 5 straight razors at another antique store for $150, haggled em to $135 total...$27 each averaged out...from left to right:
Wade & Butcher FBU, my third one lol....
2nd is a H.B. & Co. (Boker) Pioneer etching on blade....for Van Deren HDW Co Lexington, KY (I live in KY so extra cool)
3rd is a Alfred J Krank, St. Paul, Minn. Cyclone
4th is a Genco Masterbarber
5th is a Devon MFG Co. Chicago
What, no shots of the blades? :p Looks like a good haul!
Just got home, pics soon along with measurements, I borrowed a tape measure but only remember that the w&b was 7/8 at the tip and 8/8 at the toe
Oh also got at least 2 more razors coming from customers that have seen me working on razors at work...love freebies!
Also found this, going to make a great razor box!
W&B For Barber Use, 7/8...seen better but I've made worse into good shavers in the past.
from all of your recent posts it seems as though you are amassing a decent collection in short order!
5/8 H.B. & Co. Germany. "Pioneer" blade etching. Van Deren HDW Co. Lexington, KY
5/8 Alfred J. Krank St. Paul, Minn. Cyclone
4/8 Genco Masterbarber...quite a bit of hone wear but has a good even bevel....shaves as it sits really well on the ol arm lol
5/8 Devon MFG Co. Chicago in great shape, and passes hht....ill shave with it after a good stripping tomorrow...
Any info on the manufacturer?
What y'all think? Didn't seem like a bad deal.Quote:
