Thread: What Do You Have In The Mail Right Now?

This one here is on the way. I haven’t had to give a razor the full progression in a while.photo lifted from their website.

That is a beauty. With these older nos razors, you may find it will shave right out of the box. Enjoy

There is a guy from Italy that seems to have an endless supply of these NOS as well as two other brands.
Incredible to have such a source in Mint condition!

The closer to a bevel, the less work I’ll need to do. This is said to be a very thin blade. So it should hone easy regardless.

Outstanding!

Barber lot


Some shears, scissors, an SE that looks like an injector (?), a couple of other SE's (Christy and a Commander) an SE honing/stropping jig (?), a personna SE blade in a brass case (carbon steel I think), a package of DE blades, a tattered Torrey straight with no scales and some thing with no description and only one bad photo (top right) which I think may be a pullman strop.

...all for the low, low price of $9.99. I spent more on the shipping biy still under $25.

Also managed to liberate this ugly assed poorly dressed W&B The Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor FBU


Strange story with this one. It was on that big auction site. I got into a literal last second bidding war and lost. I was actually glad because it went crazy high. But, what can I say? I'm a nut for the Wade & Butcher choppers and I sold off my last couple of restores so, bummer. Then I saw it relisted. Hmmm, what's that about? I didn't bid but just watched because now I'm suspicious. Sold again but not as high...relisted again. What? Three times this happens. Alright, now I gotta know so I message the seller. Seller responds, "Yes you are correct. All winning bids have been from outside th USA. I do not ship outside the USA unless you have a USA address. Thanks for asking."
Well, now I feel a little better. Waited it out and sniped it with a high bid and 5 seconds left but still got it for less than half what the high bid was first go around.

It has a couple of minor chips near the heel and one right at the toe but it is 8/8s he tells me and has been covered in some kind of oily crap so not much rust and basically no pitting.


Work those chips out and put it in some proper FBU scales and it should be a prize. Restore this one and the wedge I have in the queue and I'll have the trifecta again.

New shop toy, 6x48.

Here it is. Everything is just as I expected. The razor took a great edge and delivered a great shave.
