Thread: The Butchered Blade

There is a super cool old dude in Wisconsin, his forum name is Geezer. Shoot him a PM, and offer to send him the blade for assessment. He is very knowledgable. It's a couple of hundred miles from your place to his so a bit of a hike for a face to face but likely only two days mail each way.

Yep, Richard is a great guy. He was a machinist & is very knowledgable.

Not a bad idea, bout 10-15 antique stores here, unless I clear them all out You should also let me know if there's any fertile razor hunting grounds down in Tx, then next time I head out to Dallas.

I've seen Geezer before on this thread and will get right on it.

Down in Texas, most folks toss their ancestor's things. Best razors I have acquired were from Pennsylvania and New York. Folks up there hold onto stuff.

Yep, I periodically hit up an antique store over here. The guy doesn't really know straight razors but I have been trying to give him some tips...you know, so he can make some more money...anyway he gets his razors (and all of his antiques) on a route he runs through New York a few times a year. The last time I checked in with him he had 25+ razors with nothing really standing out.

RezDog: So I'm shaving this morning and I'm thinking, 'does Shaun actually shave in a boat on the water, while the boat is under way?'

@sharp, @WW & @outback, good thing I have family in friends all over NY, may have to do a razor-shopping trip this summer Though I was thinking of doing some stops along in Il when on the road for work, luck with timing has been pretty good to me in the past...

Not so butchered as it is broken. Been cleaning up this scale-less as received British razor, and am just about ready to put it back together. Need to finish the scales some first though.

Going with a honey horn in a classic shape.

Think maybe a bone wedge and silver pins, or maybe brass on brass..
Depends on any variation that shines through the horn when it's thinned out.
