The Straight Razor Acquisition Thread

My RAD level is increasing...

Two nice ladies came today

The first one was a lovely Friodur 72



The next lovely is the Kikuboshi Feon 6800 Swedish steel


Can't wait to give them a go

Cheers!

 

Those look amazing - great purchases.

I couldn't help myself. I've only seen 2 others like this, on this site. It is a little worn, but not too much, and has no cell rot. It will require only minimal work, to prettify it. Plus, I got it for a good price. Sorry for the bad pics. It really does look better in person.

 

Fredrick Reynolds fixer upper. Broken scales...bummer! I proclaim it shall be whole again!

 

I understand RAD. This retirement business has me screwed up but Social Security made a mistake and I was refunded some money which.......I promptly bought another Wacker with. I was looking for another vintage but got side tracked.

"Monkey Tail Razor"

I snatched this Monkey Tail up, for a song. I just like the way they look, it had little wear, and I've not seen one like it before, by this maker.

 

That is one sweeeeeeet lookin razor!!

Thank you. I liked the look, and its not a small blade, like the De Pew, and Bengals I've seen.

 

+1 that SR had me trolling for monkey tail

I'm man enough to admit that I did a search for monkey tail razors on the bay, with very limited results

Great score DaltonGang!

 

I just picked up a wacker, will post some pics when she gets here!

 

I just found out that the engravings on my SR is something like "Kikusui, Special grade"

I'm guessing that the scales from a Kikusui Japanese SR were repurposed on my Torrey.

Cheers!

Was very lucky and won bid on a 6/8 T.I. Wolf and Sheep. I have always wanted on of these .But could never find a good deal on one .

 

Rarely Have I seen any listed as "Monkey Tail Razors". They are usually just listed under their stamped name. You just have to get lucky, while picking your way through the thousands of listed straights.

"Drug Merchant of America". Made in Germany.
Around $6.50, and in good restorable shape.

 

"Waterville Cutlery Co". Waterville Conn. Waterville Hand Forged.
I really liked the blade design. Little wear, and for $7.99, what's not to like.

 

Very cool blade design!
