Post your pictures - ERN Razors

Time for the next thread: ERN Straight Razors.

Over the years, Carl Friedrich Ern manufactured quite a lot of different ERN razors. Time for the pictures, you know the rules, ERN razors only!

The second razor to make it into my regular rotation is an Ern 28.
I like the snake and eagle logo.
The one on this razor is the only one I have seen
with the snakes tongue pointing straight up.

I got this on ebay from Russia.
It cost $8 and change plus $6 and change for shipping.
The scales were too short for the blade to close
so I took out the wedge and ground it shorter
which is why the razor looks like it was pinned
by someone who had never done it before.
 
The other Ern in my regular rotation is a 343 crown and sword.
I think I was the first person ever to hone this razor.
I agree with all of positive comments that everyone has
posted about this brand.

I forgot to mention that something that I like check out
on a newly acquired razor, is how it rings when I flick it with
my thumbnail. This one rings real good.
And then after I know that a razor is a good
ringer, I flick it pretty much every time that
I pick it up.
 
Hi all,

I just got this ERN 448 crown n sword and sorry for the borrowed pictures but I can't find any info about it here or anywhere else. Any help please?

in a lot buy i got a razor in the same box (though mine has had a rough life). The razor wasn't ERN i'm pretty sure though.

*Edit* well after doing some research it's a Gong Razor which is one of the many brands that ERN sold under...however you say that. So it was a nice surprise, 6/8 to 7/8 ERN, and it wasn't even the best razor :) Tomorrow i'll have to post pictures.

I will just add my ERN Ator, This one I must restore as it is a fantastic razor and shaves beautiful and very sharp.

Here's a CRAFTSMAN that I recently acquired at a flea market. It was NOS and it came with a NOS Horse Shell Strop and Hone.
