Wild caught Escher!

After a rather disappointing (as far as antique store finds) last couple of weeks traveling round trip of 2500 miles to Alabama and Florida I Had a chance to visit one of my favorite antique stores and make up for months of nothing exciting. Scored this nice Escher and no name 7/8s razor for a mere $27.00! When i saw it my heart nearly jumped out of my chest and my hands started to shake. The store owner was busy with another customer and I stood there with one eye on the display case and the other shooting daggers at the customer trying to hurry them up!

Would this be a green Escher?

Looks like 2 colors there! Blue and blue-green? Sa-weet! :tu

I'm with Tom, Vern. Blue/green

Yer gonna like the results... Congrats:tu

Now that's what I call being in the right place at the right time. Congratulations on a great find!

Good God Vern...what a tremendous find.
Watch out for blue lights in the rearview mirror, you out and out stole them.
Congratulations and enjoy!

Can I give you the 27 bucks and you can even keep the blade?

Nice score! Amazing that they d8dnt have the price higher than that. Lots 9f places price stuff according to eBay. Guess they were too busy that day.

Dont forget your closest and dearest friend the Gasman. I'll make it $30.00 and cover the shipping. :)

Oh, how sweet it is! Congratulations.

Nice find! I know it wasn't from the part of Alabama I drive through!

Have a bit of "my precious" moment did we?

Well done :beer1:

what's the best way to preserve the label? How high of a grit do i need to go when lapping it?

We were down in Atmore Alabama, for my sons wedding. Also celebrated our 30th wedding Anniversary down in Pensacola.(only thing hot was the weather)

Not sure on the label, but I lapped mine with 220 wet/dry till flat, then 400,600,1000 w/d paper.

Being mine is a barbers delight, I use one side with slurry, the other only water , being its burnished.

Very nice label! Love those combo stones. Sweet find and may she provide you with a lifetime of smooooth shaves!

Killer score!

Drat, one less out there to find. Fantastic score!
