Beauties @esvh!
Love seeing those massive GB anchors - congrats.
Tom

 

Thank you. It was pure luck to find one.

 

Congratulations! The GB looks more that something you should find in a Butcher’s store...

It is no wonder that there were so many men with moustaches in the early 19th century. It must be difficult to shave under the nose -.

I have a lot to restore. I must stop buying new ones, but these I couldn't let go.

 

That giant chopper looks like if you closed it fully, the edge would stick out the other side of the scales! I love massive blades, but the difference between the size of the blade and the size of the scales is almost comical here. Awesome find, just kind of a funny head scratcher.

Can’t wait to see the GB and the Singlestein cleaned up

 

Just had a wonderful test drive of the Shumate and Klas I pictured above after honing them up. Both took two sessions on my stones to get them behaving right, but they did a fantastic job tag-teaming for my head and face. Three thumbs up!

 

Congratulations! Nice Klas, it seems that Ivory was not that unusual on Swedish razors.

I have
one German razor in ivory.
Two French,
and the rest of my ivories are all English and Swedish.

 

Gratuitous Pics are always appreciated.

Nice little box from Italy, by way of a previous owner...

A little weird, a little unique, and a little LITTLE.

A “Pocket Razor” in his CarboInox Damascus.

A combination of stainless and carbon steel. Pretty cool machining for this one... couldn’t pass it up.
Happy hunting.
Tom

Unused and some are Sealed

 

This is going to take some time.
Here's the German one:

 

For topicality reasons I posted a French one in the ivory thread.

My other ivory French razor is also in that thread.

Picked this CVH up, should be on the way soon. Model number is unmarked, and both the stabilizer/heel are unusual for CVH and the nose is shaped a little differently. It was described as 21mm/ 7/8, but I suspect that it might be closer to 13/16. I was hoping maybe @esvh or @lottenhem might have some information. Should be here in 10 - 14 days.

 

Hmmm, the tail looks like No. 7 but the 7 has a rounded nose

I don’t think so, the 7 doesn’t have the same stabilizer.

 

So, anyway, I agree about ivory not being unusual on Swedish razors.

In the ivory thread I posted examples of Heljestrand, Berg, Stille, and Tornblom.
