Otto Bush Weltmeister Monday razor

I picked this up at an antique store a few weeks back. It's never been honed and has only the factory bevel. Clearly part of a seven day set. Where did his brethren disappear to?:shrug:

Maybe he'll end up being my Monday shave razor. When I get the time to really focus on it, I can't wait to hone and strop it up. I'll say that this razor cost me the exact same amount that a certain battered, beaten and worn Boker was listed on BST for recently. You know, THE razor that was the source of the recent S-Storm?:w Oh, and I see I misspelled Busch. Sorry!

I'll answer in order:

1) Antique store in Minnesota
2) This is a bit O' a riddle. The link I referred to IS HERE
3) Good question. I wouldn't guess it's really that old. Maybe 35 years max?


Naturally it caught my eye right away!

She's a beaut!

Wow, really looks quite nice. Please let us know if she shaves as good as she looks. I've been eyeing a couple of Otto Busch offerings, but at substantially higher prices than what you got this baby for.

Run it through the Shapton progression and let's hear about it!:)

Very nice! :tu

Ahh yes, Mr. Busch will be introduced to the Shaptons quite soon I hope. Does anyone know how to add more than 24 hours in a day?!

WOW!

That is some find. My antique store ventures have produced a few decent blades but nothing even remotely close.

Gorgeous.

My parents are antique hounds...Suddenly at 44 I find myself dragging my 6yr. old into antique stores looking for razors. One of the local "malls" knows my face and I get told where anything new is. I now find myself driving up to an hour away on "a lead"....lol. It's fun and a find like Chris' here can make a day. BTW Wisconsin has fair prices I found a unused Torry in great shape (not perfect) for $15.00. My only problem is that my daughter is now letting people know what I'm after putting a dent in my bartering abilities...
