    Not a bad deal, how was the condition?

    They were pretty much mint and had some nice spine work. Now I’m wondering if I should take a ride back there. I may be homeless, but clean shaven ;)

    You can always shave out of your car, who made this set?

    It’s been over a year now, and I don’t recall the maker.

    I liked the design, and it was a little rusty in some areas, but the rust was light and came off easily. It falls in the size I prefer, 12/16 to 14/16th. The upside was, the razor only cost $3.25 + $3.50 shipping.

    How much elbow grease will you need with this one?

    Not much. Almost all the dark parts of the blade, are shadows. I might take a little of the High Gloss Shine off of it. The edge looks pretty good, but has a very slight wave, in one part. It should go fairly quickly, because it looks to be an Extra Hollow Grind. Very very thin, and flexible edge, on the blade.

    I took a chance with this one, and it will require a minuscule amount of work, to massage out the chip, at the toe. I don't think it will matter, because I will put a little smile on the edge. Except for the little chip, it has a beautiful edge, and finish. It will just need a very little polishing. This one cost more than I liked, at $9.00 + $4.00 shipping. Then again, I like tinkering with edges, so, all is well.

    This one should clean up nicely. I have another, or two, ShurEdge razors, and they are top notch.

    At the swap meet. My wife went to use the ladies room when we were leaving. So I wandered back to a stand I visited when I first got there.

    I noticed it hiding under some junk. Plucked it up right then and there.
