One forum in my heart. Many blades on my wall (a few brushes too). What more could a man want? Don't even start ed.
You should have it by Tuesday. It's a great razor!Quote:

I think this one had the leather wrap on it that someone removed, I'll see when it gets here.Quote:

Yes, I'll post a picture when I get it.

Should clean up well I hope and love the Spanish point? I think it's called.
Figure it's circa 1895-1900.
Funny, I have a Blade from a Toledo mfgr in the identical scales I think.
Experimenting a bit with a Japanese pull saw and some trimmings from new flooring that was installed so this will probably end up in new scales before I am done.
Cheers.
Mike, that's a beautiful razor. I'm jealous.Quote:

Why do people insist on replacing perfectly good vintage scales on a VINTAGE razor with something new?
Thanks gents.
I'm excited to tune her up. I have a Shumate, and a few Genco's in my collection, but have heard good things about Robeson and frankly, fell in love with the profile of the blade.
Going to pick up a few more buffs for the wheel next week in anticipation..
Regarding re-pinning, while it doesn't show in the pictures, there is a nasty gash in the bakelite on the one side that i will probably not be able to buff out. I personally save all my old scales for resurrection.
Trying my hand at one piece scales, so assuming I don't botch things up to badly, may see what I an come up with design wise..
Cheers.
Wood Tool Chest w/ 8 Wood Tool Drawers. Harbor freight deal. It will suffice to contain my rad, sad and had ....for now..

Basement is the lathe, buffing wheels, scroll saw and other power tools of destruction and redesign.. Hehe. Granted, some of that stuff in the basement was already in use, but everything else is all razor baby!! So yes,, for now indeed.
YMMV. :beer2:
I showed SWMBO the eBay auction, and she said, "Buy it! It's beautiful!" So what could I do except be an obedient husband?! :angel:
It's been shipped, and we're anxiously awaiting its arrival. It's a Stabil model 152, "Our Best", "Extra Qualität", (9/16"):
One thing about this razor has me confused: Although the box cites Germany as the country of origin, the razor doesn't; it's only inscribed with "Solingen". But it's clearly not terribly old; certainly not old enough to predate the trade agreement. How did they get around the labeling requirement? Is there an exception, perhaps, for non-export wares?
Who know's. That is a beautiful razor, your SWMBO was right So follow her advice!!!!Quote:
