The Straight Razor Acquisition Thread

I liked the scales, and the blade looked salvageable, if needed. The scales are in perfect shape. The blade needs a little work, at the heel, and needs some cleaning up, but for $14 total, I view it as a win.

Another $14 razor, shipped. It is in pretty good shape, but is dull as a butter knife.

This was PIF'ed to me by @Karl G . Thank You. It needs a new bevel set. Other than that, it looks to be in great shape.
Time to set up the stones.

 

I was watching that razor. Was hoping it was available when I got paid yesterday. I'm glad it is in good hands though.

 

Thanks, It needs a touch up, so my son who’s an amateur knife-maker and straight shaver of many years is going to take care of it for me.

Very nice, a fine Japanese razor in great shape.

Love the etching on the Kikuboshis, what a fine present, he will get started with an outstanding razor.

He shoots, he scores!

 

This came in today. I cant wait to get to use it. I have not heard one bad word when it comes to this brand. I have to hone it then I can use it.

 

Beautiful razor!

"WINOVA"

I think I did OK on this deal. It cost me $31.00. It was labeled wrong, on Ebay, and it was hard to see who the razor was made by. I couldn't find anything on WINOVA. But, I could barely read Michels, which told me everything I needed to know. He made C-MON razors, which are some of the best out there. The scales are in perfect shape, and the bluing was almost perfect, on the tang.
Anyone familiar with, or have a WINOVA??

 

I don’t know anything about WINOVA but the bolsters on those scales look familiar (as do the triple diamond pattern and raised circle pattern stamped on the tang...

 

Looks like Peter J Michels might have made some razors for others.
Anything written on e reverse side?
