LOL, that's what I was thinking Looks cool Rick, I hope it smokes well for you

Wow Johan!! :drool :drool :drool

Fantastic haul, can't wait to see more photos of your Livi and hear more of your visit. Congrats!!

wow, looks like everyone is having a good week! Few more razors for me.

I was just teasin' :eatdrink047

Here's the photos that "Buddel" made before he sold it to me - no need for me to take any more pictures: http://www.gut-rasiert.de/forum/index.php?topic=543.0

@Johan and Rodd: That's some very serious hauls there, guys, enjoy 'em goodies! ::

WOW! If you ever want to part from that, let me know!

send over half a million bucks and it's yours

Can you wait 'til next month.. my CC needs a rest

WOW! The ebony scales do match pretty well the horn scales that would have originally been on that. That is a fantastic blade! I have one that is in worse shape, but is still in my top-5 razors. You'll definitely enjoy it.

Anyone ever see the gem reversible or double edge blades? they are sharp on each edge, when one edge got dull you could flip them. I would imagine they were cheaper to produce too. First time I had seen them. Also first Eagle Standard I have seen.

Lil' Poncho, NYC.........They know him.

How do you know I didn't.

A Wade and Butcher 5/8s wedge, minor pitting in one spot on the reverse side of the blade and one nick in the blade.




from badger and blade bst, 20.00



This one is on it's way, picked up on ebay

Great haul! Lovely steel you have there!

@Chris: The scales are not ebony but black makassar to imitate the original horn scales.

kd5afe: Now that's quite a sweet haul! ::

Should I be exclaiming "Ha Ha!" or "Ah hah!"

I thought makassar was a variety of ebony?

It's all in the spelling, isn't it

Wow !

I was so sure I wouldnt be beat for the Haul record for this week , nice to see I was WRONG !

Serious Sick Haul over there Johan !

Awesome SHOW ! what a str8 razor by the Maestro ... and you got to meet him in the flesh even better. and no waiting time either because I think he has a pretty back order id think with the lottery that was held at the SRP lately.

Oh, ah.... errr.... yeah :ashamed001

Klaus, ich dachte es gibt nur 1 Art von Ebenholz--ich lerne jede Tag etwas neues!

Antique Stores Again!

These two straights have been gathering dust in one of my local antique shops for as long as I've been shopping there. The $20 price stickers on each were so faded I could barely read them. I had never even taken them out of the locked case to examine them because I'm not a straight shaver. Now that I'm trying to be one, I decided to take a look.

I've never seen a straight with metal scales, but these polished up quite nicely with, umm, SILVER polish! The scales have some scratches, but the blade looks almost new!

THe other one is in rougher shape, but salvageable, I think. Maybe I'll try my hand at making new scales. Or maybe I'll just find someone to do it for me.

Anyway, here's today's haul...

Is $15 for a pair of Wade & Butchers good?
