    ***SOLD***

    I did not want our Single edge fellows to feel left out in the spring cleaning sale so I’ll offer up these.

    Disclaimer: I am not nor do I claim to be knowledgeable in this realm. I will answer any questions honestly and to the best of my admittedly limited ability. That being said, here’s what we’ve got.

    A) This is a Big Boy: 7/8 Fain Looking. Markings are as follows:
    On blade: Best Hollow Ground / On Tang: 170 Fain Looking / On Original coffin: Fain Looking, Trademark, Best Steel Razor. Appears to have little if any hone wear. Minor surface flaws.

    B) 9/16 (My measurement) W Greaves and sons. Markings as follows:
    On tang: W Greaves & Sons. Appears to have very little hone wear. Minor surface flaws. Horn scales in good condition. It needs to be repinned. One of the scales has pulled loose from the pin. Not the original coffin.

    C) 5/8 The Star. Markings as follows: On Tang: The Star, on opposite side of Tang: The Star Barber Tool Co. New York City. Solingen, Germany. Celluloid scales. Very little hone wear. Blade is in good shape. Razor was shipped to me “shave ready” from a guy at SRP. You be the judge, I haven’t touched it. No coffin.

    Please ask any questions prior, as I said I will do my best and will send more pics if desired. (I don’t know why it’s so hard to photograph razors, they never look as good in pics as in person. ??)

    I would like to sell them as a package to someone who is capable of (or wishes to start) their own refurb projects. This was something I thought I might get into but reconsidered. I don't like things just sitting around. It definitely was not a profit minded endeavor.

    I’d like $35.00 shipped conus for the three. If you feel I misrepresented them, I'll take them back and pay return postage. That's the best I can do folks. Thanks for looking.

    Yes sir, couldn't let these blades pass. :drool

    I'm glad you like the signature-image, it's something I wanted to do for a long time - include everything I love in one image (except for Single Malt ;) ) - movies, shaving and smoking pipes :D

    Man, there needs to be a saved search feature like on eBay. That way I can know immediately when Chris lists something in the Classifieds. Great score Klaus!
