Thread: I Want to Keep Them ALL! Lot of Razors

Bought these today. Can't research them all so if there are any I would be crazy to sell or are particularly well made please let me know. Some of these are much more ornate than any I have purchased before.
The Black Jack seems almost shave ready as is. I think the Wostenholm with orange scales might be a rescale or something is wrong with it because you can't even close it without the blade catching on the wedge.
Will try and make a list later in case you can't make out the names.




2 Engels, Black Diamond, Black Jack, 2 Boker, Torrey

A nice bunch of razors there, and they look good condition, congrats

Thanks. Most are in really good condition. Unfortunately the Black Diamond (one of the nicest looking of the bunch) has tiny chips at the toe, but the other 2-3 with tiny chips or rust on the bevel shouldn't be a problem to fix.

Wow, I would keep all of those if you bought the ones in the last picture you shared. Lots of beautiful steel there. The Wm Jackson looks like a monster.

Looks like you did very well, all of them are keepers.
What other markings are on the Black Diamond?

I'd keep all of them, at least for a bit. Hone them, strop them, shave with them. You might find one or two you really, really like.

Great score!

Nice score. Id be proud to have found that lot.

Very nice set of restores ahead. Look forward to the WIP threads for some of those beauties.
