First straights I’ve purchased, semi-wild from a vintage store with a small rack stocked by a barber.
I’m getting started on learning something about honing, beginning with lapping films. Should a newbie be trusted to practice honing with either/both of these razors?
JR Torrey I’ve heard of.

Cattaraugus Cutlery Co is a complete unknown to me.

I think a razor like this one just about ruins This Drool Thread, but maybe it can be rehabilitated.
It's a Kinfolks which is why I took a chance on it.

$3 + shipping = either a bargain or junk. I bet $6.74 on bargain, but it could go either way.
Atlas blade came in last week but this ribbon razor came in today. Very similar blade shape and size.

I've never met a Tanifuji that I didn't like. I have the twin to the Spalding, the Maxfligold, one of my favorite Japanes razors. I have three H.Diamond razors, but I have never seen one with that grind. They are more like the Spalding. However, they are also very fine shavers and I'm sure that you'll love it. Congratulations.Catching up with The Drool Thread is always fun. I'm all caught up, and drooling.
Two more Japanese razors have arrived.

This is a nice Spalding (made by Tanifuji). It's supposed to be shave ready (and might be). It's my third razor made by Tanifuji; nice little collection I have now, and they're all great.

Here's my first and only H. Diamond. I know the edge is a great one because of who the vendor is. This one wasn't cheap by my standards, but it may have been a bargain. Boy, do I like it or what!
I'm sure you noticed it's shoulder-less.
Happy shaves,
Jim

I don’t buy many razors these days, but I snagged this old 7/8 hollow ground John Barber on the cheap! I do need a restoration project to keep me busy here and there. The scales need a little cosmetic surgery and there is a little bit of rust and staining to clean up, but it should be an easy one.
Nice scores gentlemen, yours make mine look like an old toothbrush...

Looking forward to seeing this one cleaned up. Love the anchor on the tang.
What do you think the age is?

Thanks! Quite happy with these razors. Take a great edge and the shave is flawless.Not one but 2 stunning razors they are beautiful
Do the other six razors look like this?
Ian, I'm not worthy of your praise, but I'll take it. I'll post a picture when its finished to "What's on your Workbench."That old toothbrush will turn out to be a beautiful swan when you have finished with it. I have seen your restores Matt.
