Thread: 5 Sheffields (2 Pair + 1)

One Antique shop scored 5 Sheffield blades (2) Wade and Butcher, (2) Joseph Rodgers and Son's, and (1) George Wostenholm And Son's. I'm still looking for any information that will help figure out the age of these guys.





I know this is all 5 in one photo but that's what the photo albums listed under community is for. If you would want to see other photos of these go here Straight Razor Place Forums - ENUF2's Album: ENUF2's finds . I've already started working on getting these cleaned up and ready for use.

DROOOOOOOOOL!!!!


I am so jealous.

That is a very classy set of antique razors, and a lifetime shaving rotation, for sure! I really want to find a chopper like that big W&B, myself. In about a week I will be hitting a remote AZ town's antique stores, and hope that I get half as lucky as you did. Congratulations.

WOW!!! Im jealous!!!

Oh they are pretty. Nice score.

Excellent score!! I have found these brand blades from time to time around here in our shops but not all at once. I bet you paid less for the lot than you would pay for one on EBay! Tell us a little about the shop you found them in if you don't mind.

I love the look of that one in the middle (A rogers?) - itll clean up niiiiice

Great score!!!

Altima55's gonna be ****ed. You hit one of his spots...Good 4 U man....Good 4 U...
I wish I could find stuff like that here in Jax, Apparantly, no one ever shaved which makes sense to me now that I live here....

It was just one of those small unassuming antique malls that before Str8's I've driven by many times. I know a lady who has a booth there and she told me she had a few razors I might want to look at (only 3 Not worth what she wants for them). As I was getting ready to leave the guy running the place told me there is this guy who always brings in razors for sale and asked if I wanted to see them. Ok, why not that's why I was there. When he showed me the case they were in there was a 20 X 10 X 6 Inch pan heaping with old razors! Granted most of them were useless (Rusted, broken, ect...) But I stayed there for about 45 minutes with a magnifier going thruogh as many as I could. I actually spoted 9 that I wanted but had to settle for 5 (have to take care of the family you know). What was nice was I paid about 14 bucks each for them after taxes. I thanked the guy and talked somemore he told me the razor guy had dropped that batch off a couple days before and I was the first to go through them. He also told most don't take that much time or effort when going through them. I'm hoping in the near future to get to a point where he'll call me when something like this comes in. Actually I'm hoping to find more places like this one. This was not just fun but GREAT FUN>
