So this morning I received an email from my father in law titled simply check out the last photo. The last photo had 3 shoe boxes full of Straights....Needless to say I popped right out of bed and got the wife and kiddo up to check out the sale. When I got there my heart fell a bit. Most of the razors were toast :(
Wade and Butchers so abused by hone wear they were crying to be put out of their misery... An Ator that should have been a crown jewel, but instead sat there black with a frowning crumbling edge... 2 Cattaraugus that well I just dont want to talk about...the list went on...Eventually I found a Genco that's blade had been covered in grease and was very well preserved ($14), a $5 basket case early pipe razor and a Joseph Rodgers masquerading as a Depews ($25)????
after a little 400grit wet dry I am digging the patina left on the JR and the GW Pipe :)
Anyone have any info on the JR? I have never seen one like this. I thought it was a Depews until I sanded a little!! lol
