Thread: 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?



J. Wosty


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?

The two wedge grinds that are very near true as far as I've seen...

Yes, a great weekend. i can't wait till you dress them up.
Thank you for sharing them.

You know when you get married shes going to fill all your shaving mugs and skuttle with bath beads and those little pink soaps in the shape hearts for the guest. But congrats:-)

Congratulations, everybody should do that twice. The 2 different shopping places I mean. :<0)

Sounds like it was a splendid weekend.
