The Straight Razor Acquisition Thread

He is doing some amazing work these days. Congratulations

 

Thanks.
I was surprised, at first, that it was tree topping, and after stropping, it was only HHT cutting on a small portion of the blades. My arm hair, for the tree topping is much coarser than my wife and daughters fine blonde hair, used for the HHT. Their hair is used as a standard for me.
I was just amazed it still had that good of an edge, after many years of storage, without damage. Also, only slight tarnish. These should clean up nicely.

 

Nice looking razor. Congratulations!

 

Thank you, unbelievable edge on this razor.

Today, arrived a total of 5 razors, from one Razor Lot Purchase. The total, with shipping was $15. So, $3 average per razor. I had a hard time passing this up.

Shapleigh Hardware.
The blade is toast, but the scales are in very nice shape, with scroll work on both sides. These will be used on another razor, I already have in mind.

 

Joseph Rodgers & Sons
Cutlers To Their Majesties
No.6 Norfolk Street
Sheffield England.

This is a fine razor. A "Monkey Tail Razor". Its edge looks good, and should clean up nicely. I already own one, so I know they are very well made.

 

Oxford Razor
Warranted
Germany.
The back side says:
Germanic Cutlery Works
Germany. At least that's what I think it says.

This one has some corrosion on the edge, that doesn't look too bad, but the stones will tell. Everything else is solid.

 

Very nice looking razor.

I cannot make out what it says. Maybe someone here knows better. Everything on it is solid. Little wear, and a small amount of corrosion on the edge.

 

W.H.Morley & Sons. Clover Brand.

The edge is clean, with a little rust on the tang.

 

I had bid on that same one. I was busy and it slipped away. It looks like it will clean up easily

 

Looks like it says “oxlig eros
freman”. Is about all I can make out

 

Frederick Reynolds
Rattler grind
Faux tortoise scales

It was taken care of pretty well over its years, other than the chip in the toe. So off to the stones it goes, even though it is already very sharp and most likely would shave well even though it was not advertised as shave ready.

 

Hmm, this was a part of a 5 razor lot, and i was the only bidder. It went for $9.99 + $5 shipping. Another, just like it, was sold a few weeks earlier. I think another member bought that one, @M14Shooter . Post #1062. They do look the same though.

 

Another Robert Williams razor came today,
8/8 1/4 Hollow. Can't wait to try it out this evening.

Well I stand corrected then. I bid on one that ended on the 30th. Too bad I ended up so busy the day it ended because it was in pretty good condition.and ended at a good price for it. 9.99 for a five razor lot with that in there is a great deal.

 

very nice razors. i like the looks of the 5/8 round tip blades. maybe a good place to start..
