Thread: Henckles/DD from Barber

Hello, mvcrash:

Yours was a good day with those impressive razors. They are well deserved, sir. Once cleaned up and honed they will shine as great shavers.

Regards,

Obie

Makes you want to cry just hearing that!!!

After explaining to her what I was doing she stated " Oh....I just threw out a bunch of old razors that belonged to Tony's (her husband) grandfather." As you could imagine, I nearly fainted when she told me that most of them were unopened since they threw away the used ones years ago. Now mind you, Tony is pushing 80 years old and they were his Grandfathers. I missed this find by 3 days. I can only imagine what they were since she had no idea.

Anyway, maybe next time. My new idea is to let everyone who I know what my new hobby is. I'm not going through that again.

I was actually thinking of advertising "wanted to buy" in the local rag.

Well, The razors were restored. I tired to fix them up myself but was a bit misguided. I sent them to Dave/Cannonfodder, here is the link where he posted them. Looking forward to getting them back.

This is a good before and after.
