    Default Pawn Shop finally pays off . . .

    Little bit of schmutz on the edge, but a look under the loupe shows it should buff out easily enough. Not bad for $15.00 CAD.

    Excellent, excellent find Orville! Has it even seen a hone in its days? Sure looks like it hasn't. The face etch is also in outstanding condition. ERN razors are excellent quality, I think you'll find it to be a great shaver.

    Persistence always pays off when it comes to finding razors in the wild. I know your a hunter and I'm glad to see you finally snagged a good one!

    Great score!
    I know its psychosomatic but the finds that you come across in pawn shops, antique shops and the likes for a great price are that much a sweeter shave than some of expensive ones on flea bay.

    Wow the only thing I ever seem to find are the "razor shaped objects" at my local places! Nice find!

    Nice find, looks like it has never been honed.

    Very nice score for $15. Looks like it has never touched a hone which I like best when I get one like that. You can see it through the loupe. I've had a couple that looked like they never touched a hone but when I used a loupe, I could barely see some scratch marks which meant it might have been honed once or so. Hopefully it looks nice & clean w/o hone marks.

    Nice find. I haven't really looked in Pawn Shops for straight razors. I've had enough trouble finding good ones in antique shops.
    That one looks like it is in really good shape, and you got it at a nice price.
