A Harrison Bros. & Howson, V crown R , 5/8. Wild find!

I went to the cupboard and the cupboard was bare! No luck for me today.

 

[Fordfather]

Nice try though, Dave!

 

[GolFisHunt]

Ah well. If a good one were around every corner it would get a little boring.

Pick up three straights and a DE at another local antique store yesterday.
This one should turn out nice. A 13/16" Wosty with faint etching and tang stamp.

And these two that may or may not end up as letter openers.
A Bengal 5/8 with a nice Spanish point and a Daniel Grant 6/8 that has pits that nearly go through the blade. These two were cheap and I was "priming the pump" to get him to locate the plastic tote he said he had that was full of straights that were "in better shape" and had the boxes.

The bottom razor is a nice find...beautiful "humpbacked" blade...not something you see everyday...great catch!

Links don't work but I'm sure its an awesome blade! I love the blank I bought from Ulrik (my profile pic), and he makes some awesome stuff! Very nice guy as well.

Agrrr, that's what happens when I try to post from my phone. Will pit up the pics soon.

Second attempt with the pics on my upcoming Ulrik Beyer.

I love the "Wedge" on that, which I guess is really more of just a spacer... Not to mention the scales!

Ulrik calls it a turned spacer.

That's very nice. You don't see razor makers use a back spacer very often. But I have to say I love the look.
