CarrieM, JrJoeD and I went out hunting again yesterday and here is what we found:
A cased pair if Harrison Bros & Howson - "Cutlers to His Majesty" (I got this one correct Lee), a 13/16 Satinedge, A Genco Army/Navy, a Red Point 917 from Utica Knife and a Tonserial Gem from FA Clauberg. The EL & Co and the W&B were older finds but hit the buffers and hones this weekend.
Joe, seriously... Stop finding all the nice stuff! Even if you're a few states away, it still makes me feel lousy!
Loving that Wade and Butcher, Congrats
Jeremy
I don't care much about the others, but that pair is sweet!
I guess I know what I'll dig out to shave with tomorrow :)
Joe and Carrie, you must have found a leprechaun's hoard of razors under a rainbow somewhere! Seriously, I think you must have a network of spotters that direct you to these finds, worthy of a spy agency. I looked for a long time at the bottom left razor with the beautiful blade etch and wonderfully shaped blade. What is stamped on the tang? Thanks for sharing the pics of your wonderful discoveries.

My jealousy for your family finds builds greatly as I continue to involve with this forum and talk to you personally. I wish we had finds to be found in my area, but sadly the reality is fortuitous for you and not for me.
I do wish you and all good fortune in locating local razors. I was conversing with a previous supervisor once about the results of a prototype I built. I mentioned that I was lucky in being able to get it to work. He stated that luck is when something only happens occasionally and that my track record pointed more to skill.Quote:

Heeyyyyy...Not fair :gaah:. Some of us don't have access to such local finds. Whatever happened to sharing man?!:shrug:
In all seriousness Joe...Those are some sweeeeeet str8s. Absolutely beautiful and gorgeous. Knowing you, it probably cost you next to nothing or maybe a pack of chewing gums:rofl2:. Enjoy them!!
Good going guys.
Maybe a full case pack of chewing gum :)Quote:

Nice finds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice haul Joe! :tu
I really like the two wedges there, they look brilliant!
Joe, how do you keep finding all these great razors? Have you sold your soul or do you have a time maching? If it is the time machine, can we share?
