London Scores

[professorchaos]

Scored last weekend in London....forgive me for the crappy pictures. They'll look better in an SOTD shot soon.

A matched pair of "Democrat" straight razors with MOP scales and heavily worked spines.

Second up is a ... well I don't even know what to call this. Used to have seven blades that snapped into the tang. Now it only has four blades, but is lovely despite the loss. Box needs a little work, however...

More or less. On weekends they have huge antiques markets. I went on a mission to find some straights and these are the ones I picked up.

Given the insane amount of top quality straights the Good Professor has & continue to gather, I'd say that people probably are handing him them in the streets.

It's a law of nature, when someone clear out their great grandfathers attic & finds a couple of absolutely pristine MOP-handled straights, they simply get the urge to go out in the streets, find the Professor & hand the straights over.
Simple as that.
