Thread: First two finds...of hopefully many more

I found a couple razors at local antique shops here today. These are my first hunt purchases. I must admit, it is a fun thing to do. I did see others but I liked these 2 the best for what my budget would allow. As I was fixing to leave, we spotted a strop hanging on the wall, so I picked up a Scottish Lassie 144A in nice shape.

I apologize for the terrible cell pics, but it's the best I can do until I find the silly battery charger for the camera!

A Dubl Duck Styledge, and a Boker Extra Hollow Ground ( I like the scales on this one)

Very nice finds. The fun is in the hunt.

Nice grabs, Golfer! And welcom to SRP!

Great first hunt! Welcome to SRP.

Thanks. I figure these will be good to learn stropping technique with before the good one I bought from you arrives! They are sharp, very sharp, but not shave ready sharp. I need to learn about hones and what to look for in them. I'm pretty sure I passed one up today not realizing at the time what it was. warrants a return trip to the shop Monday I think to double check.

Wow, what a nice Boker! That is a treasure. Hope you get it professionally honed. It will serve you very well.
