What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Seems to be my weekend of scuttles....this one a tad older than the Sheffield one. It's from around 1914 (engraved 9/1/14) and made by "Steward Dawson" in England.

Looks like it's in pretty good condition for its age and should clean up rather well before I put it back in use

Second photo shows the scale a bit - it's smaller than what the first picture may have you believe.

A rather unique IXL frameback razor from George Wostenholm & Sons; Imported by Layman & Carey co. ofIndianapolis (ca. 1873-1915). The razor dates anywhere from 1873 to 1889.
I like the unusual tang design with the deep thumb jimps.

 

Fancy!

 

That's a stunner. Wow.

 

Mid-fancy maybe I like it though. Nice size.

 

The style is quite elegant. Love the overall design of it.

 

Well thank you sir. Maybe 30 bucks well spent. We'll see when it gets here

 

Congrats gentlemen. Looks like Darkbulb is also the scuttle hoarder.

 

oh man, that entenmanns box in the background!!!!... I miss those soooo much

 

Funny thing...that was one of the first things I noticed as well in that photo...

 

I just won the auction for a Brand New AOS Black Pure Badger Travel Brush from a German EBay seller..It was sort of hidden away..These cost £45.00 English over here in the EU...I got it for £15.00 English..I think I may have messed up though as these seem to get mixed reviews & some folks say they are just Cheap made Crappy Shedders..Time for another War with Germany..

Billy..

 

So much for NB16. Caved when this came along. On of my wish list of razors. Gillette Sheraton in case.

 

Just awesome! Enjoy

 

Early-to-Mid 19th Century straight razor from Sheffield, England.
Original inlaid horn scales and pins with large washers all look intact. Hefty hunk of old Sheffield steel….

 

Love those really old, almost straight scales. I really can't wait to see how these will look after you've worked your magic.

 

Right now I am waiting for Dec 31st to arrive so I can place an order...

 

Nothing right now. Good feeling. No checking tracking numbers. No looking for the postman. Wife not saying, "More shave stuff?" (In a nice manner). Not trolling the vendors for the latest products. Using the soaps I have.

 

Nice score. They are great little shavers. Looks like the teeth are all straight too......

 

Just bought this...listed as a "1946", it's un-notched, *very* clean, a bit more than I usually pay, but I got a refund from a lost money order so I bought it anyway.

 

Waiting on this little, vintage wood & metal shaving brush. It was advertised in a lot but when it didn't sell the seller was kind enough to let me buy just this brush.
