    Default New ebay and flea market finds

    I got a Butcher Bros in ivory and a EBRO in "bone" which might be ivory. The Butcher Brothers was so nice I thought it might be a modern blade, but I learned from research on the site that it is nickel plated. The ebro is in great shape, just waiting to be honed. The Butcher Bros shaves fantastic!
    Today, at a flea market, I picked up a complete W&B with horn scales in good shape and a W&B blade. Both ready to hone. I am super excited.

    Very nice find, & you're right, the BB does look new! I also love the look of them barber's notches on the Wade & Butchers'. Again, nice score!

    Bone has pores, which looks like small dark dots. Ivory does not have those.
