The Straight Razor Acquisition Thread

Thanks. But, the Magnetic Steel is just plain old Plastic. But, they are in excellent shape.

Now that you said so, it does look like an old powered grinding wheel, with a belt. THanks, that makes sense now.

Almost no hone wear, and in pretty good shape. Not many Craftsman razors shown around here, and I've not heard of Richardz before. Any history on this??

I was bored with a lot of overtime I was having to work, and bid on a few razors a week or two ago. So, another came in. I cleaned it up, a lot. This turned out to look pretty nice(at least I thought so). I offered $9, and they took it. I found out that this was a Montgomery Wards ordered Razor, from 1922-1928, from Lakeside Cutlery Co., Chicago Ill. It looks as if the razor had little to no use. The bevel looks factory.

 

Always love a good Army-Navy razor!

 

13/16 Omega 45 (Japanese), a very handsome razor and a Perfectworks razor. I have a Shell branded Perfectworks that’s a favorite, so I picked this one up. It took a great edge.

 

I am trying to stop but it’s hard. SRAD was calling my name. How can I pass up on a matched pair of pre zip code, boxed Ducks. A beautiful pair razors with a 6/8 round point and cracked ice scales. Good amount of gold remaining on the tang and lightly covered in oil. In very low mileage condition

 

Congrats, Tim.

ZTV "Barbers Special #1"

. It looks nicer than most of mine, except for an ever so slight frown. Easily corrected. $9.99 from Ukraine plus $10 shipping.

 

Wow, sweeeeeeet!

Cool, now you just need the matching watch.

Double Double Ducks, great find.

 

My son had a custom knife maker friend from Arizona build two razors for me for Father’s Day. After receiving them, let’s just say I’m not too confident that they’re shave ready! Sending them both off to Gem Star Custom to check to see that the bevels are set right and for a honing, if necessary.

 

That is a very thoughtful gift. Congratulations!

 

Interesting one... Dandercide Manufacturing Co.’s Rifle Barrel Steel razor out of Oklahoma City.

Quick search shows some patents in the late 1910’s & early 1920’s for hair tonics.

Smaller razor, with the blade length coming in at 2 1/4”. Also has that rounding of the spine that comes down the blade face a little to provide a unique transition.

But it was the “Rifle Barrel Steel” that got my attention... hadn’t seen that before.
Happy hunting.
Tom
