Thread: My Fathers Gear

As I mentioned in my intro thread here are pics of my late fathers barbers gear which includes straight razors, scissors and clipper blades. There are a bunch so I put them up on photobucket rather than uploading here. Also, there are doubles as I did some with direct light and some with indirect light just to highlight different areas.

The straight razors are interesting.
I don't know much about them but there are three from Germany, one from Brockton MA and one from Messina Sicily.
One of the German blades are of the same name as one of the popular knife manufacturers and if I had to guess is the most valuable monetarily but I really don't know. Money doesn't mater much since they will mostly be hanging on my wall.

They all need some work but I Think I can get them in decent enough shape except maybe for one which is bent. I have an assortment of polishing tools and supplies I use for maintaining and polishing my firearms so I have some experience with polishing. It's the sharpening that I don't know a lot about and will be reading up on that.

If there is anything particularly unusual about any of them please let me know so I know to treat them carefully. The sharpening skin is stamped Boston Barbering School Inc. so I assume he got that when he completed the course.
Thanks and enjoy!
