Thread: Workshop done and My lot of razors have finally came in the mail 115 razors

They're not the same, I thought u were talking about another razor when I seem the picture u posted lmao... Thought it was this keen Kutter... What I couldn't do to have that razor in your pic on mint...

I'm doing what everyone is suggesting and starting off slow, going with the razors that don't need new scales and need minimal work.... The last razor I grabbed had some rust on it that is the worst I've done this far.... This razor is the only one remembers to grab a pic before lol

I'm super sad about the second Boker, someone scratched heir name in it so I tried to buff it out and the yellow turns white, so I just tried to even it out... One other thing I noticed just now is that the black underneath the pins... I hope to get better, I know they aren't perfect I any feedback would be great!

Are you sure #90 & #99 aren't Thistle? I never heard of Whistle razors but like I say, I learn something everyday. Just looking over what you have there is a nice collection of razors & I think you got your money's worth. Many I noticed are exceptional brands & not junk!

It very well would be, there was a little tarnish on both of them and I tried to make out what it said but I still couldn't make it out so I took he combination from both razors and wheeled of fortune it and thought whistle hahaha guess I didn't solve the puzzle

Yes, Thistle Cutlery was in business in New York fro 1900-1920. There was also a Thistle Cutlery Co out of Fremont, Ohio but at the moment I do not know if there is a link between the two, but more than likely could be. There is also Thistle Razor Co, Warranted Germany from 1900-1920.
That was a lot of money but at less than $10 per razor, it was not a bad deal! I have seen some good makers in there.

Yeah I really put everything I have into this hobby... I cashed out my 401k to start up and try and make a buck or two...I'm a stay at home dad with a lot of time on my hands and I was really starting to get sick of just sitting around all day

I too have a Joseph Eillot Damascus not same as yours Phrank. I've also only seen one other matching yours. It was on the Bay exactly a year ago, unfortunately I missed it.

So I connected with him but he lived kinda far so everything was by phone we agreed on $1000 for 115 razors, when the package arrived there was only 105 razors I called him and since I got them for 8.70 cents a piece or something like that he took off the 87 dollars... Nice guy
