*Left-unmarked *Middle-Century *Right-Everyready Pure Badger
I spent the entire day in antique shops yesterday and didn't see any razors that interested me but I did buy these. Thinking about trying my hand at restoring one of these. Any opinions on which one to be the first?

I think that Century would look pretty nice all shined-up and sporting a new badger knot.
Had some goodies delivered today.
Proraso Shave Cream,
Floid Blue
and a bottle of Thayer's Original Witch Hazel

An NOS Colgate shave stick in a nice travel container from the bay.
I hear you, man.
An old Colgate's Cup Soap.
Wow, that's one old Colgate's pack!+
Hit a few antique shops today, did pretty well IMO.
Nice Bostonian, the case is a bit loose but a little glue will put it straight.
My first Injector, good price and in good condition, now I just need to find some blades to give it a test shave!
New Ball Tip (I think) in really good shape, no cracks!
My neatest find of the day, no brand name on it, came with an EverReady 102 brush which I think isn't original. The bowl is plastic not porcelain which makes me think 50's or so. Neat piece. Any clue what it is?

Better Pick of that Ever Ready 102. Any idea on if it's badger or boar? Feels really soft. Is in surprisingly good shape, Might give a shot of reconditioning it and seeing how it works, otherwise a new knot might be in store, the handle is mint.
Thanks!!!
Recently my father in law was visiting us. He and I started talking about my shaving addiction errrrr, I mean, enjoyment, and he remembered he had some items from his grandfather in his storage at home. I was honored when my father in law said that he no longer had to worry where his grandfathers barbers tools were going to reside as he knew they'd have a home in my collection.
Today my great grandfathers items arrived in the mail and I am honored to share them with you.
The straights are a Wade and Butcher and a Top Flight by the Burrell Cutlery Company. I have no idea as to their value.
The DE is a unique razor and was made by company called Krect. The head of the razor is somewhat warped to give it a curvature that supposedly gives you a closer shave. Cant wait to try it out.
Sorry for the shoddy photography. If interested I can take better photos later. I plan on getting the straights honed and polished as they look a little haggard and you can see where great grandpa was a little heavy on the strop with them.

Congratulations!
Nice additions to the collection. Congrats.
What a great piece of family history, if they could only talk huh! Thanks for sharing.
Congrats! that's an awesome score. So much better that it has family ties.
I like the handle shape on the Ever Ready.
Is it comfortable?

Those mystery edge blades look like they would fit a Segal
Got some Lucky Tiger After Shave and Face Tonic in the post today. Smells orangey.

The local antique mall called me yesterday and said they were holding this for me. I picked it up and cleaned it already. I apologize for the poor pics but I must buy a good camera. The numbers are intact and there are only a couple of dark spots in the gold on the handle. It is a D-3. Is it an Executive?
