More RAD, not sure on makes etc.
Went shopping to buy pressies for my other half's birthday on Monday, ended up acquiring a couple or razors... Did get her a few Hairy Bikers cook books though (signed at a booksigning here in York so not all was lost)
Anyways, back to my straights...
Went to an antique store I was told about (last time I went it was shut), got talking to a chap who happened to be opening up - went in to his stall as he said he had a couple of cut-throats (about 7 in total) he had for sale for a tenner each (£10). Most were well worn including a nice Bengal that had been honed to not far off a point and another rather nice razor that was about 4/8 - too small for me and also well honed.
What did stand out was a Solingen travel straight in it's own case - ah, saves me mucking about finding a case for my TI.
The other one that stood out was a nice spike point with a notch and what may be bone? covering the tail. Not sure on the make of this one as all it says on the tang is 'St & Co.'
Snapped them both up as they were in nice condition, just need cleaning and honing I think.
Cleaned the spike point one up with some 1500 wet and dry then a bit of metal polish.
Added a pic of my stone as well, think it's a Charnley Forest but not sure (my dad's, he's had it a very long time)
Any info on the makers etc. would be appreciated. Thanks.
