    Default More Razors

    Ok, I had to do some light traveling this weekend, and ended up stopping at 5 more antique stores. As opposed to uploading all of the images here, I'll simply link to the webalbum I created on Picasa. Each was 10$ or less.

    I do know that it'll be a lot of work to restore some of these. I was interested in any information notable razors in the set. I'll try and record anything written on the blades and tangs.

    Thanks for the feedback, advice, taunting, leud comments, moderator actions, stones of all sizes, and other such comments, questions, quandaries, queries, points of confusion, and inquiries!

    I disagree. These are total garbage! I would be willing to pay the shipping just to bury them in my backyard. PM if interested.

    I dig the Boker one. I like that detail, giving the tang its own little scales.

    What Gary said.

    The Reynolds is a very sought after blade in that grind, and properly cleaned they go for a LOT more than the measly 10$ you paid for it.
