Straight Razor Acquisition Thread

[Mlee]

Here's a couple I've recently found. The first one I picked up about a week ago.

A Damascene.

The next two I picked up today.

A French Kabrand.

And a Robeson Shur Edge #35102

A lovely Robeson blade indeed; particularly love 'the razor that does not cut the strop' promise contained in the face etch.

32s in decent condition

You're wrong, that razor is in good condition. I'm glad for, and impressed by, the pictures I've seen. Imagine a seven day set of 32's in tortoise and in good condition too! I never expected to see such a thing. I am also happy that I didn't see them for sale. It would have me a little sad to have to pass on them, not saying that they price wasn't attractive. I am very happy for you and I congratulate you to a catch of a lifetime!

It also stopped the guilt i felt about the NOS Dorko I won in an auction two days ago, for a very good price (well everything is relative).

Take good care of your new treasure and once again congratulations!

Thanks.

Ha, I'm not sure how they could make a claim like that, we'll see.

Another Japanese razor in headed my way. This and others still in transit will make seven good Japanese blades (and one very wonky one which was a freebie). Good ones to me means good shaving blades.

I didn't really expect to win this auction, but I did.

It looks like a heavy grind (unusual for me), but I know this vendor has put a great edge on it.

Happy shaves,

Jim

Friodur 72 1/2 this was part of a lot that I won of off the Bay. I have posted the Filarmonica and this 72 1/2. I will post the other 4 when I get pictures. Cheers!

Love that Atlas. I bet the scales look even better in person.

Very nice. I have one like it and they are great razors.

Thanks! Yeah the scales are what drew me to it. It’s like a Smokey grey brown, very beautiful when it catches the light.

Finally got a Boker - Red Injun 101 RP. Had to rehone it of course, despite being 'shave ready.' I tried to shave with it before the rehone and made it through part of my cheek. No way was it shave ready. After my usual synth progression, I put it on my new Thuringian and will give it a go tomorrow.

A fine specimen of a Böker that I unfortunately never had had the opportunity to try.

Just got home with this Wester Bros. Eagle.

On its way from Finland..a 6/8 Boker Celebrated w/Curly Birch scales to keep its brother (same razor with Wenge scales pictured earlier) company. The blades do need work out of the box but hone up nicely.

My new Koraat just arrived:

 

[Chan Eil Whiskers]

Catching up with The Drool Thread is always fun. I'm all caught up, and drooling.

Two more Japanese razors have arrived.

This is a nice Spalding (made by Tanifuji). It's supposed to be shave ready (and might be). It's my third razor made by Tanifuji; nice little collection I have now, and they're all great.

Here's my first and only H. Diamond. I know the edge is a great one because of who the vendor is. This one wasn't cheap by my standards, but it may have been a bargain. Boy, do I like it or what!

I'm sure you noticed it's shoulder-less.

Happy shaves,

Jim
