    Default Well my collections growing.

    I visited a couple of antique shops today a brought home 2 new projects. One is a Wade and Butcher Sheffield Straight. The stamping says Sheffield not Sheffield England, I think that means that it is pre 1895. The other is a Gillette DE from about the 1960's. Here's the pictures.

    Funny part is I've yet to use my first straight razor. I'm waiting for it to come back from getting honed. lol Oh well.
    Best part is, together, they only cost $5. I can easily restore them and get them to pristine. The only flaw is on the W&B and that's a little tarnishing that would come off anyways. And the Gillette only needs to be cleaned and a new blade put in. So, did I do alright? I really have no clue what I've got here.
