    I can understand why.
    What do you think about the Chevalier now that you are holding it? For some reason I thought it would be a little bigger... surprised me a little. But it is gorgeous and very fun to use - one that will never leave.

    It went right back in the wax paper and box...it has some presence to it. Heft and size, I did expect it to be heavier. Hoping to give a test shave tonight or tomorrow! Will report!

    My wife and I stopped by an antique store yesterday, in a town about 40 minutes from our home. We stop by there every time we get up that way together. Anyways I picked these up. The one between the boxes is a King Razor Manufacturing Co “silver king”. It has fancy scales, and needs little clean up. All The others need more work but they were only $2 each. They are as follows.
    Top middle: Fram 92
    Bottom middle: Geneva Cutlery
    Far right top to bottom
    George wostenholm and sons pipe razor
    Joseph Elliot celebrated razor
    J R Torrey
    And another GEORGE wostenholm pipe razor.
    None of the boxes are original to the razors.
    The one box is interesting as it’s a 2 razor box marked WM Greaves & Sons Sheaf Works. [​IMG]

    Great stop!!!
    They all look in great shape and the deal was excellent. The Joseph Elliott’s shape is a favorite, and need a cool solution for the wedge end that creates a save.
    And two Pipe razors - very cool.

    Thanks, yeah I think the Elliott is my favorite of the bunch as well. I’ve got to find a way to save those scales.
