Thread: Fresh off the plane

So my parents are here to visit and I decided to go fishing in the bay before they left.
-Genco Easy Aces Big 11/16
-Case Temperite 11/16
-John Primble 11/16
-Aristocrat 5/8
-Keen Kutter Barbers Hone
-Williams soap

Nice score of razors!!!

The Easy Aces and the Temperite are both fine shavers and some of my favorite American Razors in my collection but that Keen Kutter Kombo is my favorite barbers hone. I only have about 12 barber hones out of the hundreds of different ones made but that and my swaty are by far my 2 favs. That will clean up to a beautiful green on the fine side and the fine side also leaves an amazing edge for a quick touch up hone. The metal case is pretty cool as well.
Congrats on some great finds the

The Primble and the Aristocrat were quite patinaed..... and the easy aces was scratched pretty deep under the spine on the blade. .... so an evening of sanding was needed. ...

I tried to put them all in the first post, but my phone wanted to be stupid for a while....

Nice haul, Munichhoe!

Keeping in mind that Im basically from Louisville, Ky.........

and does anyone have OG pix of Temperite scales? It looks like the recessed print on the scales were red... any confirmation?

Red is correct and you are so lucky to have original scales in such ood condition. The temperite scales are notorious for shrinking and warping to the extreme..even worse than the red imp so congrats!!
