1874 Johan Engstrom impulse buy that should arrive in a week

[Njguy1977]

I bought this razor as an impulse buy and couldn’t beat the price. Hopefully it will clean up nicely and hone well. More pics will follow when it arrives in a week or so and will do before and afters.

Very nice, looks like a 4/8? The missing pin should be easy enough to fix yourself and cheap enough to sub out if you wanted. It should clean up nicely! Congratulations!

Those impulses can pay off and it looks like yours will to. Congratulations.

I just got the razor today and I am quite surprised how sharp it is and it looks like a little polishing, a light hone, and the pin fixed, it’s as good as new. I may have to send this one to Larry at whipped dog for some fixing because repinning is beyond what I can do right now. Besides I wouldn’t want to mess this one up. In all honesty I thought this was a knock off at first since I two so cheap, but after it’s in my hands it’s the real deal. My question is, the scales look like celluloid, shouldn’t the be horn ?
