    Default My recent antique mall searches

    Today I got a wild hair to go hit a few of the local antique stores for shaving suplies and I have to say im quite pleased with what I turned up.
    3 razors
    An SSA in great shape (white with square scale end)
    A JR Torrey (the other white one) this one will be a project, small chip on the edge and warping in the scales
    and one I cant quite make out the tang says HE... Sears and Son 1865 (1558)
    I also turned up a double duck #6 brush and a brush I cant identify for lack of any marking

    I really like the Dubl Duck brush. I have one very similar but mine's a Rubberset. I'm putting a new knot in it tonight! So excited.

    Congrats on a great haul.

    Very nice finds, I think I found the exact DD Brush(BIG OPENING), I bore out the boar that was in it. Just be careful at the base there is a plastic ring that can be used as a base for an additional knot, I only realized this once I dug out all that was left of the old knot and epoxy. It took to the dremel very well, except that boar hair smells even worse getting burnt out with a sanding bit. JMO.
