Thread: Antiquing, 8 razors in 2 days.

Slatibartfast,
The Boker and Puma are my favorites, also. This might change once I get them a good cleaning, a good honing, and a good shaving.

Minniesmate,
Sorry, I'm not smart enough to tell the differences of scale material, I do however hope this changes soon.

Dudleythetogi,
Yeah, I'm in Pa. I wish I would have known about the knife show, I would have went.
This was my first antiquing experience, nor have I ever been to auctions, state sales, flee markets, garage/yard sales, and knife/gun shows. I am going to keep a look out for more of these things now, so if you don't mind giving me a heads up next time something like this happens, maybe I could tag along with ya.

Bpave777,
I do believe it is.

Thank you,
Nate

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!
