Thread: Antique Store Surprise

Went to a local antique store not really expecting anything, but he got some new stuff. Found my self a few razors and at $10 each I couldn't pass them up. I think he would have taken less, but I would have felt guilty cause I liked them. First one is a Wade & Butcher Celebrated 7/8. It is a shame cause looks like half of the etching is gone, but thats ok since it will be my biggest near wedge razor. Don't think I will be able to save one of the scales since the crack near the pivot is just waiting to break. Second razor is a Wade & Butcher 5/8 near wedge. I might be able to save the etching on this one. The black stuff on the blade isn't "Devil's Spit". I was able to scrap it off with my finger nail. The third razor is a 6/8 Ern Diamond Steel. This one I think will just need a good cleaning. I am happy should keep be busy for awhile. Sorry for the bad photos cause you can't really see any of the etchings, but I guess the gunk and grime doesn't help any.
