Thread: 70+ razors in 30 days.....

picked this guy up during my recent "70+ razors in 30 days" stint. just cuz i liked his style! there was a couple pretty nasty chips when he first came in, reduced his statue from a pompous 13/16 to a humble 6/8. i still need to go through and clean him up well, address the scales and put a real edge on him but safe to say im happy i have a thing for french points and beveled spines and this one has both.

and another of the months goodies:
13/16 joseph elliots chinese razor. i recieved it in the mail, unwrapped it, honed it up without tape, prepped for my shave and gave it a go. i dont usually get to test a blades shave so quickly, absolutely thrilled with this buy.

Very nice Joseph Elliot - JBHoren was nice enough to PIF me one of those...here's mine:

very nice phrank! im a fan of those scales, aztec something or other? i wish the etch on mine was in the shape yours is but still happy with the overall blade. im not sure what direction ill go with mine yet i hate the scales on mine. original sure...... but i hate them

oh dont be impressed, i buy up all the overpriced, rusty old stuff nobody else wants
all kidding aside, these two were ones i was excited about, some others- w vernon & sons, wm jackson & sons, a shumate tungsteel with a nice smiling blade, a couple w&b, a hancock bros, a few more w&b, random assorted american blades, a packwood that i love and should have been one other packwood but a guy outbid me at the end
i really dont remember the other stuff, it all went in boxes haha. ill dig through and try to post some as i clean em up
