hi everyone im very very new to the world of straight razors i was talking to my neighbor who is a member of this forum and gave me the link, i started reading and decided to give it a shot. I remembered a old co-worker was a collector of blades and we were talking before he retired about it so i gave him a call and swung by his place to check some out and unbeknown to me he has over 100 different straight razors he willing to part with so i started looking through some and found some i liked i grabbed 4 and told him i would be back to look through the rest of the razors. I grabbed a Robeson Shuredge with new science faintly engraved on the blade, a Wade and Butcher, a Levering Razor Co. Artist ( is this blade Nickel it feels and looks different) and finally a A. F. Bannister & Co blade that has a scene etched on the blade and a windmill on the handle
