ERN S525 10 Years Guarantee This is one of the first NOS razor buys. Two ERNS and one J A Henckles I won at the same time on ebay. The factory edge shaves perfectly. I bought it from the nuns of Blauvert, NY who had an benefit auction on ebay. The nuns received the razors from a guy who owned a grinding shop that closed in the 1950's. These were found in the abandoned business.
That's a beauty, Robert! I've seen ERNs come up on ebay at times, but I know little about them. I almost pulled the trigger on one a while ago, but thought it best to find out more about them before committing $$.... Not the type of item I'd expect to purchase from nuns at an auction.

13/16 Prior MWF Jagger knot in a homemade handle To dark for pics this morning. I'll try and get a photo up during my lunch hour if I get one. Very nice shave today. The Prior is a nice shaving razor. When I bought it it had a pawn slip in the coffin for $15 from the '80's. I paid $20 for it. Have a good one
Once again the Geo. Wostenholm and Son CANUCK I.XL The shave wasn't as nice as yesterday, but I did tack some pictures...
Revisor Mungstener Brucke 8/8 horn scales I just received this yesterday. Obie Yadgar, a long time straight razor user and retired journalist in Milwaukee (Glendale, actually) sold it to me. He put a very smooth edge on it. A nice shave. Revisor is a company brought back to life in Solingen, Germany by a father and son. They bought the old factory and restored it and filled it with the new machinery, but used the original name. They also found a large stock of the original owners new old stock Schulze razors among others.
