Thread: Antiquing, 8 razors in 2 days.

i have a Boker that looks just like that but the tree stamp is the other way and it isnt numbered....... tried looking through the wiki but i can find yours or mine? guess its just a regular boker w/ barbers notch? do the branches on the tree have something to do w/ the time period of the blade? i like that puma aswell! i cant seem to get a good shave from my boker tho. think the grind is too heavy.

Sand Paper
MAAS
WD-40
and Time.

A hammer and center punch to remove the pins and Bob's your uncle.

I am stealing my in-laws Black and Decker Mouse sander. I like it better than the dremel and it doesn't seem to heat up the metal.

Nice Score.

Very nice haul. As Holli noted, the duck looks like toast but the rest are great finds! Save the duck though, ya never know when you may need the scales. I just LOVE antique shop finds!! Congrats.

oftenfacetious,
Check this out, http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...tml#post397707. I will assume that mine is from the 1924-1935 era. I didn't find it on the wiki either.

Joed,
I'm going to shoot some picks, of the DD to Gssixgun and see what he has to say about them. It was the first straight I saw, early in the first morning of my searching but the last purchase late in the evening on the second day. It was $25, and a lot of pondering but I came to the same conclusion you did, "ya never know".

singlewegde,
I love uncles, they are always there to help, unless it's the creepy one who looks like a child molester and is drunk at 1pm during your child's B-day party. Anyway, I never knew I had an uncle Bob, I'm sure he is not creepy. I was wondering if you would kindly point him out and unite a lost family member. I sure could use the extra help.
I will take the mouse sander into consideration as well as when I am ready to purchase a dremel.

Thank you
nate

You did very well!

My Mack razor has the same scales as the last two pics. Nice finds!

Same here. I got my razor (Mack blade) from gssixgun. He might know about the scales.

Hey... Out of that set I also have a Gold Bug (though mine is by Witte) and based on what I'd heard I sent it out for a pro restore by Mad Max... Just think... Yours could look like this one day.........

It shaves like a champ!
