That should keep you out busy for a while Hans.

 

E.M.D.E. Bros.
"The Improved Magnetic Eagle Razor"
Germany
6/8+inch. Full Hollow

This was part of a razor lot, that I paid $20 Total. Two straights, a Gillette Slim Adjustable, and a couple of old manual Barber Shears.
The EDME Bros has light rusting, and solid scales. It should clean Up nicely.



Slim Adjustable N-4

 

Oxford Razor
Warranted
Germany
Germania Cutlery Works Germany(On the back side)
11/16th Full Hollow

This was a part of the razor lot above.
This Oxford had a lot of rust, but after the picture, a scouring pad knocked most off the tang, and it could be read. It will be a fine user grade razor. The scales are Bone.

Before any restoration.

I tought this was a ERN not so sure know

Stamp is a bowler hat R.L. & W.

Diamant on the blade.

The last one is a erik anton berg. The nice part is the shark on the scales.

 

Straight razor Respect. I can't find it on the german razor maker list.

I recently posted that diamond was a trade mark of ERN. I'm not sure anymore. It looks more like some qualification of the steel.

The razor is indeed magnetic.

I found one razor like this on the gut-rasiert.de forum.

 

Here is another Respect: 232,, Respect

I have this similar (identical) German blade made for the Zacour Bros of Pittsburgh, PA.

Guy (@ram57) posted a Griffon Cutlery Antelope, that looks to be the exact same blank- used it on the 23rd in the SOTD. I was thinking Griffon might be our manufacturer.

Here’s a couple incoming. Vendor’s images except for the image of the boxed Le Grelot Fleur d’Acier.

First up is a wide flashy user grade Filarmonica 14 Sub Cero, one of my favorite shavers. I know the seller and she made me a quite good offer. This one will probably go to Alfredo for detailing as I have to send some other things up too.

Second is something that I thought that I’d never obtain, a spare blade for my Le Grelot Fleur d’Acier which has only one intact blade. Not that a Le Grelot Coupe Celeste in good order is anything to turn up your nose at. Lol, now I have to start looking for the spare Coup Celeste blade! It never ends does it?

 

Just beautiful Steve.

 

Thanks Tom!

 

Congrats on both, but especially love that 14 Filly - and the red scales. It’s another one on my one day, someday list

 

Thank you Karl, don’t wait too long, most of us aren’t getting any younger. A good Filly 14 is something that you can use for a long, long, time!

 

And those red scales suckered me in too!

 

@Steve56 , I saw that one, and thought hard about buying that Fili 14. I was hoping one of us would buy it. Great score.

 

Thank you Scott,

Marcela is a good seller who prefers to sell off of eBay ….

 

Sometimes you stumble upon a trove.

Nine NOS Richard A Herder 326

And to my surprise a schäfer travel razor, a henckels zwilling frlodur 14, and a holeka.

Only the holeka has some serious rust. I suspect from the scales.

 

Where, and how, did you score those?? I'm drooling over the NOS Herders.

..

 

A local dutch second hand site. The seller was actually from belgium. I was expecting 12 herders. But he just sent what he had.

So I got a friodur 14 and a travel razor

Sometimes people find stuff in house clearences and just want to sell it.

The big ERN (8/8) I showed a few posts ago was picked up by somebody at a dump site he worked at. He saved it, but now getting older had his neighbour selling stuff to clear the house. That is how it got to me.

But I have now to stop buying stuff and up my tempo restoring it. In the end my stuff will go the same way. That is the circle of life . I will keep some herder nos. In the end my son might get interested.
