From the 8.18.2020 lot. G. Johnson 7 stars 1835-1837. Still needs a little cleanup, the scales are not original, but are kinda cool.

Well if I look at the razors you acquired we can except 4000 more posts
Well there are about 420 more razors from the lot I just bought, but I don’t think I’ll be buying any for quite some time lol! I think I’ll share razors as they get cleaned up. So, about 420 more days of razors!Well if I look at the razors you acquired we can except 4000 more posts
Gents,
These are Ramapo Warranted straight razors made in New Jersey from steel associated with William Gilchrist sometime between 1851 and 1861. They are both just shy of 7/8, and are full wedge.
I am really excited to acquire these, because I believe that they will make fantastic shavers once honed, and also because the scales are made out of real tortoise shell! These are my first razors with authentic tortoise scales.
They should arrive next week!

They look amazing! Congratulations!!
Thanks Matt! The gentleman that I purchased these from had them in his collection for the last 15+ years, so I figure that they are probably wonderful old blades!

Finished cleaning and honed up the LeClerc from my Birthday spree. Wore down the frown on 400 diamond, bevel set on Shapton 4000 and the rest on my little coticule. I haven't met with a lot of success using that, but this one is really popping arm hair and I'm psyched to use it later.
Why are there so many unhappy French straights?

Pulled these two out of the 8.18.2020 lot box and did some light cleanup. Will hone them this evening.
That looks perfect!!!!
Thanks Matt...it was a lucky find! I will likely hone it sometime this weekend, or next week depending on how it goes!
Nice finds in your monster lot as well!
