My "School is taking over my life" finds.. Razor porn
Hey guys, so my RAD has been dormant for a year because of school. Somehow though I have managed to get a few razors during my "off of the forum" time. Nothing special (except for the surprise 7 day set I got a few days ago). The first razor I got was by chance when I went to Austin one weekend. I was in a hipster thrift shop and saw they and a Hall's razor in their display case. It was for display only but I offered the guy $10 for it and he took it! It's an old Sheffield maybe from the 1890s, it even came with the box! The horn scales need TLC, an over night neatsfoot oil dip might do the trick (I just need to get some)

The next few razors I just got last week. They all had a little bit of rust but I lightly sanded them and they look ok. The first one of these I want to show is a Henckles 4/8, it was a rusty boy but I got it for a steal! Hand sanded it and honed it.. now it shaves like a champ!

Next is a Torrey 5/8 barber's notch, it had a bit of staining that I sanded off, it came with original box! Honed this one and now it can cut hairs into tine little pieces!

Lastly I got a pipe razor, its 5/8 and in pretty good shape after sanding. The scales are done but most likely I'll grab a pair from someone off the forum.
