Thread: Most recent finds from the wild

I've been pretty fortunate with my recent hunts. 8/8 W&B FBU wedge , 6/8 full hollow Hartkopf- Kayser Ellison Steel, 6/8 full hollow Dubl Duck Goldedge (ain't she a beauty), 6/8 near wedge W&B with this gorgeous diamond tang and what I think are ivory scales. They are all great but I think this last W&B is really special. I also found this old Sears & Roebuck Craftsman strop in remarkable condition, both the linen and the leather. I've been using it almost exclusively since I got it several weeks ago. It's a damn fine strop.

Love them all! Can't wait to see the first restored with scales. The strop is fantastic.

Thanks. I do plan on having it restored soon. I'm not quite proficient enough to do it myself. The spine on it is beautiful and I would hate myself if I messed it up.

Those are some great finds. Just goes to show that they ARE still out there! Happy Shaving!

I'm with bouschie, I can't wait to see the W&B restored! It's a beautiful blade. I love those bevelled spines too..................

Couple Duxs;

Paid a fair price and am satisfied.Cleaned quickly and the 6/8ths passed HHT 3 after twenty laps on a dry Thuringian. 40 linen, 50 Horse Butt. I was fortunate!

They're still out there in drawers of an old house, possibly of a man who has passed on & his wife has left everything untouched or the home of relatives that have done the same.

Yowzers!! Nice finds!

I've been is a drought finding any in the wild....
Nice catches!

The strop is quite the find! It's hard to believe it's in that good of shape.
