Found in Halifax.

One of my friends who I use to work with drives to Halifax every now and again to see his sister. A while ago I managed to get him onto a safety razor and he has started his own small collection.

While at the GTA razor meet he sent me this picture.

I wasn't able to reply fast enough for him to look at any and I thought all hope was lost. Well, he went back...... I have very little money to spend on razors these days so Only told him to take photos of 2 with the blades open. Both turned out to be winners.

Which two would you pick with a budget of $100? Lets try not to get this shut down with opinions of price either.

I'd take 4th from the top and the bottom one. Am I close?

Bob

Not saying yet.....

3rd and 4th from the top...no, no wait...yeah OK, 3rd and 4th. By the way, is there an eagle flying overhead? I see a wing.

From the top, 1 & 4 for me but based on the stickers a hun gets almost all of them.

I think all would have been worth a look, but its tough when its a friend doing you a favor.

I saw that too. Not sure what's going on there.

I'd go with Bob. 4th and last one.

I reckon they are both Sheffield steel.

Third & Fifth from top

I agree with Bob most definitely.

I would offer him a hundred bucks for all those old parts razors

If I were there, that might have been possible. Like I said, he's doing me a favor so I don't want to put him out of his comfort zone.

I would want a look at the blades of the fourth from the top and the last razor. Both look like wedges so you would have some room to work with concerning rust. I saw a Wade and Butcher with the exact scales as the fourth razor in an antique store last year.

1st and 3rd

Never seen those scales before, seems neat. Some rust that could be an issue, but there appears to be a nice patina.

3rd has that nice weathered horn look and limited rust.

BUUUUTTTTTT #4 looks like some neat scales....

The fourth looks big in the scales, and generally faux tortoise is an indicator of upscale razor.

The Fifth looks like Ebony scales, Rodgers? And a fancy collar on the wedge pin.

But the 7th also look like fancy collars (original) and a good size width.

For Shure, the forth and probably the 5th, hoping it’s a Rodgers, in Ebony. And if there’s money left over the 7th one.

But man that’s a good lot, probably worth a trip, flip a couple and pay for a 5 day set.

Fun post.

Exact two I would've picked....

Here's the 2 I went with, drum roll please......

4 and 7.

Clearly 4 is a sheffield, and probably the biggest there. 7 clearly has a barbers notch and has to be Sheffield or a nice American......
Turns out both are W&B, and both will be wedgey, just how I like em. Here's the photos he sent me of the 2.

Should maybe have looked at 3 and 5 as well. 3 very well could be a nice sheffield as well. slight sway back but double stabilizer and horn scales... could be a good one too.

5 I think is a 6/8 Solingen and 6.... could be American.

Be curious to see what Tom thinks.

I guessed #7 was larger.
How much are they asking for the deer hoof?

Kinda dig the Lennon shades too though.....
