Thread: 5 more straights!

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? 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
