The Straight Razor Acquisition Thread

@oscar11 - I was just looking in general and in came this Blonde Wacker Classic 2...had to try.






What a looker. Fresh out of the box, can't wait to give her a try. Thank you to the gentleman who blessed her on to me.

Best, John

 

Wackers are awesome razor in my humble opinion .Love the quality of the grind and the extra weight the razor has.They are serious Whisker Wackers .

 

Good deal! I like the scales .

Awesome, you must be very excited. I have a M Martinez and it's the current favorite in my den.

Enjoy!

 

I was very tempted by that razor, glad to see it found a home with a TSD brother.

 

We like the same type of razor, and the one you have looks awesome!

Thank you, you are going to enjoy that razor. Mine takes and holds a great edge for a long time. Plus the smile is kicker.

 

I was traveling through a very small town in the middle of Idaho last week and stuck my head in an antiques store. I saw a JR Torrey razor box with a $14 price tag. I asked to see it and look what was inside, a Winchester razor. I offered a $10 bill and it was accepted. It is freshly honed and up for tomorrow. I forgot how much fun the hunt can be. I’m baaaacck

 

It is good to see you back Brian. I thought your life in Idaho influenced you into growing a beard.

 

Billy..

 

No beard here. I’ve just been busier than I’ve ever been. Things are settling down a little and I’ll be back amongst you fine gentleman.

 

Guys, I picked these up at an antique store I found myself in with Mrs. Jack19, (That'll teach her to take me along, LOL)

These are my first straights, hoping someone can tell me about them. Maybe a general age.

And, a matched pair of Osborne & Garrett razors from their "ELMO" line.

 

Great finds.

 

Those Elmo’s are drool worthy!
