I'm interested to see what she looks like once you have finished polishing and honing. How well do those scales clean up?

Ah, I see there was some extra blade below the shoulder, so it looks like that didn't become an issue. Great work Al, she looks beautiful.
...you haven't pulled out your mini coins again, have you? lol, j/k.

Very nice haul!
The W & B is Great but so is everything else. Bet it wasn't even close to EBay prices. Yo should stop by that place from time to time. I bet you will find more great buys. Try to figure when they will restock and tune into the voice for assistance.
Love hearing about these finds but it doesn't help my RAD much.“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.” (A. Einstein)

I make my rounds at least once a month to all my favorite Antique shops.I have a couple of shops that have my number and call me when they have something interesting.

You did a fine job on the scales, chip, and polishing That razor is a great looker! Can't wait to hear the shave report. There seem to only be three ways to acquire neat razors; inheriting them, e-bay, and best of all, finding them at flea markets and antique stores.

Al, great grab man! the shops in my area suck, at least the ones I've found thus far.
that w&b looks the same as the one I just got back from Max, the tang shape is the same, and I'll tell you what, it is comfortable in the hand, just a fantastic shaver. congratulations.
