,Hi
Snagged these two badboys as part of a bundle on the bay last week (including a rather nice Fatboy and Ranger Tech I was really after). Receiving them they look in fairly good nick, and now wondering whether they worthwhile investing in getting them professionally honed?
6/8 is marked Chris Johnson & Co Colonial Razor
9/16 is marked Asquith & Lord Ltd Bombay
Your knowledge & advice appreciated
Thanks - Another option if these are low-end straights would be to invest in a stone and use them for honing practice.,
I would, and then they will be ready for what they were designed for....shaving
On the other hand if the outlay was small to have them done properly would gauantee you a pair of shave ready razors, they both look vintage so are unlikely to be utter rubbish. Your call.Thanks - Another option if these are low-end straights would be to invest in a stone and use them for honing practice.
The edges look in good condition to me with no obvious dings or dents.
The Natural Escher Thuri Offers a Wonderful Smooth & Sharp Shaving Edge..Glad You Like it..Got these two back earlier this week having been honed by @Fergiebilly along with my goto Solingen. Gave the Solingen a run-out this morning and was pleasantly surpised by the smoothness and efficiency of the shave - what a difference that hone made. Hats off to Billy!
