Lots of stuff in the mail this week, plus a trip to 2 antique malls here in town.
5 pin bowling ball. I still need 1 or 2 more, so if anyone has some they want to get rid of, let me know.

Unmarked 'Dubbers' razor with MOP tang and big chip near the heel. Razor #1 of a set of 4 from Ebay. Thinking I'll breadknife it and remove the chip, making the razor ~4/8.

Army Torrey with some neat scales. The scales actually hold the blade so it doesn't accidentally open. #2 of 4 from Ebay. Big chip and a crack you can't really see in the picture. Hope to save it, but it will be pretty small after removing the chip and crack.

Genco Army and Navy. #3 of 4. Pretty decent shape compared to the first two. Just 2 quite small chips in the bevel by the heel that will hone out no problem. Will need a little sanding/buffing/polishing. Probably going to replace the scales as they are not very pretty.

'Old English' Torrey. #4 of 4. Its a wedge with a small diameter hollow taken out of it. Quite easy to hold, firm with no flex, yet light and maneuverable. I introduced this to the buffing wheels then honed her up. Smooooothhhh.

Then from the antique store I got this Dubl Duck Satin Edge and Genco Wedge. The Dubl Duck has a couple of rather deep looking pits which will probably have to stay, and I'm not sure if the scales are going to live through some gentle tightening up of the pins but it looks pretty decent. The Genco looks like it has never been honed before. Its a little on the small side at 9/16 but I'm sure it'll be a great little shaver.
