My 10 or so razors
So these are the razors that were delivered so far.
Starting with the left column:
My grandfather's Chabaz 5/8 - it was in a very poor state. I kept the etching on the blade, but it will have to go; When I decide to rescale it it will receive a proper polish.
Thiers Issard Le Dandy 6/8 - warped blade; it takes practice to hone it. It feels rough on my skin. Steel wool on order for it and I guess I will order some Mother's metal polish too.
Revisor 5/8 - I wanted a new razor too; it came "shave ready'; you could shave with it, but it wasn't the most comfortable; I touched it tonight on the 8k Fuji and 12k Nani.
Thomas Turner & Co Sheffield - it was advertised as Victorian age, but the marking says "cutler to HIS majesty", so I guess it is after 1901; it was advertised as shave ready, but I can see with my naked eye the rolled edge and the low grit stria.
Bismarck 6/8 - the blade looks brand new, but rescaled I guess. There is the tiniest chip on the toe, but I think it will be ground off during bevel setting
John Heiffor Sheffield near wedge - some polish will not hurt, but I like to have some of the patina
Eiko Glory near wedge - I probably overpaid for it, but I like the looks of it.
What do you guys think? The last four have not been delivered yet.Last edited by Eurofighter; 02-18-2019 at 07:46 PM.
