    WOW! The ebony scales do match pretty well the horn scales that would have originally been on that. That is a fantastic blade! I have one that is in worse shape, but is still in my top-5 razors. You'll definitely enjoy it.

    Anyone ever see the gem reversible or double edge blades? they are sharp on each edge, when one edge got dull you could flip them. I would imagine they were cheaper to produce too. First time I had seen them. Also first Eagle Standard I have seen.

    @Chris: The scales are not ebony but black makassar to imitate the original horn scales.

    kd5afe: Now that's quite a sweet haul! ::

    Should I be exclaiming "Ha Ha!" or "Ah hah!" :D

    I thought makassar was a variety of ebony?

    Antique Stores Again!

    These two straights have been gathering dust in one of my local antique shops for as long as I've been shopping there. The $20 price stickers on each were so faded I could barely read them. I had never even taken them out of the locked case to examine them because I'm not a straight shaver. Now that I'm trying to be one, I decided to take a look.

    I've never seen a straight with metal scales, but these polished up quite nicely with, umm, SILVER polish! :D The scales have some scratches, but the blade looks almost new!

    THe other one is in rougher shape, but salvageable, I think. Maybe I'll try my hand at making new scales. Or maybe I'll just find someone to do it for me.

    Anyway, here's today's haul...

    Is $15 for a pair of Wade & Butchers good? :D
