Found some blades today.

I was out and about today trying to get a hair cut and beard trim, but of course all the good Barbers were closed. So I did the next best thing and headed to the Antique market. In previous months the razor scene there has been fairly dry, but today there was a few to choose from. Here's what I walked away with.

A Joseph Elliot, Celebrated razor. I thought this blade should be a bit wedgier, but maybe it had been reground??

A Wester Bros, "Manganese" Steel, Anchor brand. Cell rot has started on this one, but I also noticed that it's never been honed.

A nice round point Thomas Turner, Cutlers to his majesty, Sheffield.

And a small 1915 Torrey, that has a bit of a smile which makes me smile :)

Congrats
That Torrey should be a sweet shaver.

Some great finds.

Hoping so Dave. I have one similar and it shaves quite well.

A nice days outing Andrew! Can get a haircut anytime.
:tu

Good outing for sure. Are yo going to save the bolsters on the Wester Bros for the new scales?

Definitely Bob. I may have to do a bit of research on here, about how to do it, but I definitely want to keep them a transfer them onto new scales.

I need to find an antique show like that, nice finds! In terms of straight razors, I have never found anything worth taking home...
