Thread: A few finds this weekend

I was walking around the antique show on Saturday - and though I expected the place to be picked over I did find a few inexpensive razors.

I couldn't read the name on the blade of the top razor - but it was damaged so it doesn't matter. The scales were perfect though and it was cheaper than funny.

The second is a "Evil Janson, WALD - Solingen". Didn't look like much but might be a good shaver. Nice picture of a dove on the other side of the tang.

The third I was really happy with. It's a "Gold Bug" Full concaved, A. Witte Germany. It was late in the day and the dealer was clearly looking to get rid of his stuff - talking him down was easier than usual. Most of the gold plate is gone - but the blade and scales are in good shape. Hoping it's a good shaver.

great looking razors! they don't look like they'll need too much work.

Yes, it is a very good shaver.

I honed up the Bug this evening while doing some maintenance on a few other razors.
I knew the blade was in good shape when I got it - but wow - it seemed sharp enough to shave right off the hone! Looking forward to taking that one for a spin tomorrow-

Nice find, they look like a few good shavers.
