Weekend vacation, six new razors and a strop!
I had a fantastic weekend! First and foremost I got ENGAGED to my amazing fiance, stayed at a little B&B for a couple nights, had some fantastic food, and found some decent antique pieces. After searching a massive antique mall and equally large monthly antique flea market I got these six razors for a grand total of $47 bucks, 4 of them need new scales though.
From left to right:
John C. Cockhill (6/8 wedge), Wade & Butcher Special (6/8 Hollow), Hibbard Spencer & Co Rattler (just under 6/8 Hollow), Not sure about this one but it looks like C Tul Herbert Garantie (6/8 Hollow), Wade & Butcher (just over 7/8 wedge), and J. Wostenholm & Sons Ebro (11/16 wedge)

The Hibbard Spencer & Co, does anyone have a time range for when Bartlett wasn't part of the Company?

The Herbert. I can barely make out Silber Stahl (silver steel) on the blade face. It was made in Merscheid Solingen and says "Garantie" on the back side in plain lettering, top and bottom jimps. Any historians have some information on this one?
