Thread: Fresh from the farm(literally)

Awesome score....I love the antique store/flea market stuff. You never know what you'll find.

Wow sweet find for sure and all at the same place!

Got all of them unscaled though I broke the Engels scales getting the pin out. For me, 66% success rate is pretty damn good when removing scales.

Too bad about the scales breaking. We all do it though. I broke a scale about two weeks ago and replacements are on the drawing board.

I kind of expected these to break on me. The pin was pretty well rusted in the scales.

Bah - that little Engels deserves better scales than what it had anyway! It's a good looking razor!

Now I really love this score. Went back to the farm where I bought them and asked about them, showing them the stamp on the Mag-Nam. Turns out that their Grandmother had a small barbershop in the house that she used to shave and cut the hair of the farm hands that worked there. The family seemed happy that the razors were going to someone who was going to take care of them and use them. Definitely a treasured part of my rotation now.

Thinking of making some green canvas micarta for it. All depends on how motivated I am.
