    Default Some recent ebay blades

    Most of these were purchased within the last month or so. I just finished cleaning up the Zacour Bros. and the De-Fi. All have spent some time on the buffs, but I think I'm gonna take the scales off of the Ern before I finish it up. The Joseph Rodgers is 7/8 and it sings. I think the Boker is my favorite of the bunch(1/4 hollow shaves like a dream). Can't wait to get the de-Fi honed up tonight. I have three other Westers and they're all great shavers.

    Sorry, I don't have any. I always seem to think about it half way through. I'll have to get in the habit of taking pics right before I start.

    The Boker is stunning, looks almost like new. In fact all of them are stunning, you've done an amazing job, but the Boker and the De-Fi are particularly beautiful!

    They're all wonderful, that's terrific work and a great shopping eye. That "Zacour" -- Diamond Steel -- note the resemblance to this Griffon Antelope Diamond Steel -- (posted by Brooksie967 a couple years ago)

    Looks like the same blade. Same 16 grind number too.

    I thought of the same exact antelope blade when I saw his Zacour. I love that shoulderless, thumb notch, french point style!
