    Default We went antiquing again...

    We've been going antiquing through the winter but now that spring has finally arrived (it was 87 here on Friday) we decided to spend the day touring western NY and searching antique shops. Here are a few of our finds. Sorry, no before pics.

    And a few more...

    If you would like alternate views of any of the razors or the name isn't clear just ask and I'll post it. The W & B in this group will get new scales once the horn arrives. Pics by JrJoeD.

    Note that most all of the razors posted here been buffed and some saw the greaseless.

    Another trip to your secret mines, another ore cart of high grade treasures! You keep up the hope in this group with these posts. You prove that there is a chance for anyone to find a nice razor while out antiquing, if that is a proper verb. Now for your newest finds: Are those MOP scales on the W&B? If so are they as perfect as they look? My other favorite in this Easter basket of nice blades is the J. Wiss. I have only one, and it is a very fine shaver. Many thanks for the pics.

    Thank you for you kind words all.

    The first W & B does have MOP scales. There isn't a crack, chip or scratch in them anywhere. The pivot pin is very loose. I tightened it up a bit and stopped for fear of breaking the MOP, so that is how they will stay. Jr and I shaved with it today. It's an excellent shaver.

    Congrats on the great finds Joe. I have lusted after a pearl scaled W&B for years and every time I saw one on the bay it either had cracked scales or went beyond what I was willing to fork over. Among your great finds that one is the best yet IMHO.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
