Fireman Find
So I talked to a really great retired fireman today, and he sold me 5 straight razors he came across doing auctions. Great guy!
This Engels Wedge was among the five:
It needs to be cleaned up a little, but it basically looks brand new. Pretty excited. I'll post the other 4 soon.
Oh, and I honed it up and shaved with it before my Thai dinner with my wife for valentine's day. Took a great edge, nice shave!

Here are two more - a matched set of Robert Klaas FOREMOST razors:
I was really happy to get these, again, like the Engels, these look to be basically new. Anyone know anything about these ones? I believe Robert Klaas was in Solingen, but these say Germany, anyone know the reason that may be?

Wow! A pair of "Kissing Cranes"!! One would be wonderful, but two? Be still, my heart. Enjoy 'em!

I'd give it all up, for just a little more.
