    You know you are in deep when people start donating their collection of shaving supplies to you.

    Today i amassed the following from a co-worker.

    Top Left - Joseph Rodgers in Tortoise Shell?
    Top Middle - Claus
    Top Right (bolsters) - F.W. Engles Velvet Edge - massive chip in blade
    Middle - T.Noonan & Sons Black Demon - also chipped
    Bottom - Superior Cutlery 'Pilgrim' with inlay and cracked ice scales.

    The blades will all require some edge work before the can be honed. Ive never made a shorty, so i thought eventually the Engels might be good for that. All of the scales are in very good condition except for the tortoise (faux?) which is a little chipped, and the Pilgrim which is pretty warped.

    On the right is a selection of DE shavers. Top is unnamed, then some C-Mon scissors (i think i will try to restore these), a Weck, a Schick adjustable and an Ever Ready.

    I offered to restore the Claus and return it as a token of gratitude.
