    Default Weekend trip to the antique store

    Found these two beauties at a local antique mall. The first one is a "Maher & Grosh from Toledo O" and ias inscribed as an "Army Officers Razor".

    Those are some nice razors. I have no luck in finding anything at antique shops.

    Actually I am a honemeister wannabe so I have been honing my own. I am having success, but it is taking a while.

    That w&b special is... Well... Special!

    Nothing like the extra hard temper of an army officer! Haha!

    Nice finds!
