Straight Razor Acquisition Thread

Gahhhhh, I need that in my life.
Original Geneva razor looked to be better quality.
Yesterday I stopped in at a flea market just to take a picture of a couple of razors that I had some questions about. Thanks again Gentlemen for not letting me make a big mistake.
Well, I thought while I'm here I would look around to see if there was anything new. About 2 booths down I saw 5 razors sticking out of an old beat up shaving mug. It had a sign on it that read "Old razors $5 each". Well even though I didn't go there to buy anything, I couldn't just leave them, Could I, and this is an Acquisition thread. I guess I don't need to tell the rest of the story.
Here's the first one, I didn't know what it was until I got home and did a little research. I had know idea what a Bresduck was.
The rest of them in my opinion or at least equal if not better than this one. I'll post the rest as I get them cleaned up a little bit.

that will make a beautiful shaver but keep it in the air as they suffer with cell rot and if you notice any spots of rust showing on the blade remove the scales
On the way. Love the shark logo.

Very nice. I have an E. A. Berg that has the Swedish Mackerel etched on the blade. It's in my rotation.
Thanks. I think the scales are plastic but I'm not sure. It's definitely a good candidate for replacement though.
Mine is Celluloid but they sure are a nice razors and they take a wicked edge this is mine
WOW, that is nice!
Here's the second of the 5. Another duck, not a dubl but a Twin Duck Wedge. It's a Breswick 4/8 almost wedge with a hammered shank and tang. This one had some surface rust but cleaned up well.
And the 3rd one is a C-MON Blackie.
Just bought my first ebay razor...a Robeson... Thought it was a great way to try out a thumb notch and the price was right. Even came with the box!
Nice! I like the way the shoulderless thumb notch blades look.
