Thats a beauty!!
Nice score mate I'm south of you in Lincoln
That sure will look stunning once you get hold of it, hope you post pics of that when it's restored to its glory.
Thanks Dagwoodz!! I all ready have one but no where near in that condition.
Thanks Luecke2326 they sure do look sexy.
Thanks 6Cuda6 I hope it looks the same when it gets here.
@Ice-Man, I most certainly will post once it's restored. I'm thinking about going with some blue acrylester scales blue being my favorite color. Any suggestions?
Got this one in from the UK yesterday...approx 6/8 with ivory or celluloid tang and scales with a turned tin case....no makers marks though sadly.
It's a Solingen razor from around 1900. Before that the tang was covered with scales not a whole piece. Good shaver nice looks. No I don't know who made it but ERN is my prime suspect.
Thanks for the info Arne....your a straight razor history archive!!
I guess that means dry, having an odd dusty smell and being as attractive to the opposite sex as dandruff.
I really need to stop watching this thread, you guys have me lusting for mor razors. Some great acquisitions.

@Deelyte Hell no the blue will make the razor really stand out
Wow mate that looks fantastic, and I will go with Polarbeard saying ERN.
Ohhhh yes there is some great razors on here, So your not alone on this one mate.
Thank you Sir!
A WADE BUTCHER
I picked this Wade up today for thirty dollars I said I will bite the bullet and take her home. I believe razors are subjective what I like you may not like and vice versa with a recent thread I decided I would see for myself if I like Wade Butcher razors. I'm going to try to have this blade buffed and polished then honed also I would like some new scales for it and give it a go. If it isn't to my liking there is always BST

$30?!?!?!?! Score! I hope you enjoy it.
Northfield Cutlery faux frameback. Scales are shot and it needs a shining, but it has potential. HOORAY, antique shop!
Also saw a BEAUTIFUL Henkels #33 seven day set. Wish I could afford THAT!!!

Congratulation. I saw it, but I don't bid much these days. Good razor for a good price.
I was doing so fine. I hadn't bought a razor for a very long time, and I felt really content about it. Of course I wanted a Koorat full hollow, but a razor for $500 (configured the way I want it) and already having far more fine razors than I'll ever be able utilise fully? Nah shouldn't think so.
Of course I buy stuff like bath soap, face cream and an occasional shaving soap. I still get a lot of emails from internet shops. So about a month ago one of them sent me an email telling me that they had 50 percent sale on selected products. Well a look can't hurt I thought (yeah!). I immediately saw a black bladed Dovo reduced to about 40 percent of the official list price. Not for me, I've already got two Dovo 5/8 I thought, but then I took another look... and a third. I've wanted a black blade for ages and Dovo makes good razors. Suddenly I had bought it. The price was ridiculousness low, but the buyers remorse afterwards was really bad, Well now I've added a third Dovo 5/8 to my enormous collection, It's comforting to know that the razor is a good one.

You need a Razor Condo! 15 Razors per floor, sadly I am at almost full occupancy, but the 1st floor is for the Coti, Loupe and Trans-ark, but they may get evicted soon, LOL
