3 razors & a Swaty....
Went with Books today to an antique shop. Well, maybe more like an antique junk yard is more like it.
Came away with the following

The first razor, Zacor Bros, is one of my favorite grinds, the Elliot wedge has a bit of lite pitting and major patina but had no major rust and the last razor may not be salvageable due to pitting along the edge. The Swaty is blemish free. I spent about 10 minutes total time with sandpaper and the buffer before I took the pics. Total cost was $50.Last edited by randydance062449; 07-23-2011 at 05:46 AM.

Very nice! I can't quite make out the wording on the Elliott(?), who is the gentleman etched into the blade?

Hey Rod, Books had first choice but decided to pass since he already had a Swaty and a nicer wedge. His RAD & HAD are under control!
