Thread: Belated B-day gift from my daughters = Priceless

Belated B-day gift from my daughters,() and I am proud to say they did very well at the antique mall. They are 14 and 16 and purchased what they could afford.

They didn't know exactly what they were looking for except that I always talk about sharpening stones and razors.

Look what they bought me. A 15/16 razor and a sharpening stone!





Antique Mall Birthday gift from my daughters = Priceless

That's not any old stone, that's a glued BBW/Coticule combination! Be happy!

Yes, and that is why it is even better, They scored and didn't even know what they had or if I would like it, They just hoped I would.

And they watched me work on my Torrey, and said they hoped I could fix this razor up also.

Priceless, I say, just priceless. You gotta love 'em.

Real nice Phil. That coticule would make anyone a happy b-day and especially from the daughters. Nice razor too.

Is it a BBW/Coticule or just a yellow Coticule?

The bottom is brown.

Thanks in advance.

Like Ben said, looks like bbw/yellow coticule to me too.

Raise some slurry from it. That should have a purplish tinge. Looks just like a dirty BBW to me.

Thank you, Jimmy.

I am ecstatic about both.

I am itching to know a little more about the razor.

That is an awesome little story! Congrats to everyone involved.

Yes, Ben, you are correct and thanks for the second Jimmy, it did in fact produce a purple tinge slurry.

Thank you

Also this was the easiest lapping I have performed.

50 laps on the yellow and all pencil marks gone and less on the BBW side.

I would say it probably wasn't used much.
