Fresh from the farm(literally)
Stopped at a barn sale today and walked away with three straights and a barbers hone. The barbers hone is a Boss Barber that should clean up well afer some lapping. It looks a lot worse in the pic than it actually is. The sraights, from top to bottom, are a 11/16 Geneva Cutlery, a 5/8 Mag-Nam(which I think is made by Union Cutlery) and a little 4/8 Engels extra hollow. I haven't cleaned any of the razors yet, but I don't forsee any major problems, though the Mag-Nam may need a little more work due to a spot of rust near the edge towards the heel.

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. Originally Posted by Theseus
