eBay find's I couldnt pass up.
I bought three razors on eBay plus they came with a Norton Safety Blade Hone. I got no use for this little hone but it looks like its never been used and its in the original box with instructions.
I've pulled the scales off as the scales on all three of these were just beyond help. But the razors were in pretty good shape. I'm just going to show the oldest one and all I did was a hand polishing. No power tools, sanding or anything else.
B.J. Eyre & Co. Greaves & Sons. Sheffield (it might have said Late W. Greaves & Sons but its too warn off to see that).

This was the best and oldest one of the three. The others ( GoldBug and a H. Boker) are not too bad. One is going to need some work to get chips out of the edge and a touch of working on the heal.
The only problem I see with this one is the hole has been warn at an angle and is a bit larger from ware. Is it kosher to fill the hole and re-drill? Any comments or recommendations on doing this?
Plus if you know that I'm completely wrong on the dating of this razor being early 1850's please let me know.
I'm not looking for what its worth as I know that against the rules of SRP. Its worth a lot to me being in good shape and for its age. I wanted to find a vintage with lots of years on it. Old Razor! And this one will be the oldest in my collection.
